windows home premium 64-bit error problem

I have windows vista home premium 64-bit and i am getting an error everytime i start my computer that my C:\windows\resources\themes\aero file is corrupted and can not be read. its the only vista theme my computer has and now that it doesn't load my windows looks like win 98 is there anyway to fix this without haveing to reinstall windows? its not the first time windows has given me a bad file, last time it started doing it with msn msger untill eventually my wlan quit working, my computer comanys solution was to reinstall windows, but that is a pain. I have no idea why this is happening but its getting on my nerves. thanks to anyone who can help.

thanks, after i posted I restarted my comp and windows wouldn't boot so I had to reinstall anyway. I guess thats fine cause the only thing I lost was my DoW 2 save file and i was up to the last mission. But haveing to reinstall 2 times this month isn't normal is it?evilmudbug

can a bad hard drive cause corrupt files at start up? This computer is new and i really hope they didn't ship it with crap parts. something is wrong and its either vista x64 or the hhd and i can't tell. All i've done on here is install steam and a game or 2 from there, combat arms, go to this site and really thats it, I surf and do email on my other comp.evilmudbug

when i first got vista, i installed it on my hard drive and it was slow but no corrupt files, the reason why it was like this was because i had a bugger hard drive, and the files not writing correctly to your drive is either your hard drive or the actual disc, most people dont have problems with vista anymore.

i ran chkdsk and it listed 9 errors really quicky and shut down, it wont stay open long enough for me to read it though. Do you think i should call up the computer company i got it from and see if they will replace the hard drive?evilmudbug
