Run Windows update and get all the updates you're missing. I know you just built a new computer since you made a thread yesterday, so I'm pretty sure all you need to do is get patched up. (Another thing you'll probably need is the Microsoft .NET Framework, which may or may not automatically be included in the Windows update)

NET framework is in optional software (or somethin like that)

when you run updates don't do express do custom and you should be able to find the optional link there

Hey man, I don't want to sound rude, but you really need to poke around more and try things for your self before asking for help with little things like this. Not that I don't mind helping you, but you're never going to learn to troubleshoot these problems for your self unless you try.

Anyways, hope you get it worked out.
