Perhaps WR tries to update the registry with the wrong "swprv.dll" reg info ?

Just an update.
This morning I booted the computer and tried to access the firewall control panel.
It gave me the same message.
However, Event Viewer shows no errors or warnings?????

BTW: "Repair VSS" contains a bug. The VSS service is not being turned on (again) after the repair has finished.

Shane:
With so many odd things, I wonder if doing a repair install is worth the next step instead of a fresh install.

Something to consider

It is possible it is a .net problem since you did have erros with it.

Try the .net removal tool, reboot then install .net again

I am curious what that Macrium VSS repair tool adds to the registry. Because Macrium offers a procedure to "repair VSS" that's very similar to what WR's "repair VSS" does.

What I consider to be the main difference is that WR's "Repair VSS" doesn't start two services at the end ("net start vss" & "net start swprv") and perhaps the sequence of a number of commands. When I run WR's "Repair VSS" on my Win 7 system then nothing goes wrong. When I run Registry Backup afterwards then VSS does properly function, absolutely no problems.

@Ka6uup:
- when you run the  text file (see attachment) as a *.bat file with admin rights, does VSS function properly  afterwards ? Or is then VSS "broken" again ?
- Can you post the content of the following two keys (and all sub keys) in the registry:
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS]"  and
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\swprv]"
