    I have searched about the same and have found that the mentioned event occurs when Open File Support (OFS) is enabled within Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Client Version 5.2. In that case you will have to perform a clean boot, you can follow below steps for performing a clean boot.
    • Go to start > Run > type "msconfig" without quote and click on OK.
    • In new windows select "Selective Startup" and uncheck "Load Startup Items" and on "Services" tab simply click on Enable All.
    • After making the above changes you can check "Hide all Microsoft Services" option and click on "disable all" and clear "Hide all Microsoft Services".
    • Just make sure that you are saving the changes by clicking on ok and you are restarting your system as well.

    This has been a common issue with those who have applied the SBS SP1 update. So if you are amongst them then you will have to install above hotfixes to fix the error.
