Hi Walter,
The error is because the file or directory you are searching is damaged or missing.
To solve this error follow the steps mentioned below:
1) Click 'Start', Click 'Run'
2) In the run box, type 'chkdsk/f <drive>', where <drive> is the letter of the drive where the files are damaged
3) Click 'OK'
4) The system will scan for the list of files that are damaged
5) Replace all the damaged files with the correct one present in the system
