I’ve installed all from Windows update. My first suspicions was that framework v2 caused the error, therefore I uninstalled this. And tried again.
My next step was to uninstall all framework v1 (framwork 1 + framework 1 sp1 + framwork 1 sp1 hotfix). Then I visited Windows update and installed one by one and restarted Windows. For each install i’ve tried again.

It's a Dell installation. After talking to Dell support they told me to re-install Windows using recovery CD. The operating system is Windows XP pro with Media Center and (u'right) Swedish MUI.
Thanks for the links you provide, I will take a look at them.
Btw: Who is president Klintan? I have had this domain for many years now (klintan.se)
If you have reinstalled windows and still having the problem Remove the framework Updates and Use the following command:-
Start --> Run --> Sfc /scannow and enter "You might be prompted to insert windows XP CD, insert the CD and Wait for the process to be completed then restart your computer and Check..!)

This might be a virus or trojan ? check the following information..
W32/Mytob-CQ is a mass-mailing worm and backdoor Trojan that can be controlled through the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network.
When first run W32/Mytob-CQ copies itself to the Windows system folder as ehshell.exe and bingoo.exe and creates the following registry entries:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ol
WIN
ehshell.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Ol
WIN
ehshell.exe
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
WIN
ehshell.exe
HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
WIN
ehshell.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi
WIN
ehshell.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi
WIN
ehshell.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Wi
WIN
ehshell.exe
W32/Mytob-CQ copies itself to the root folder as:
funny_pic.scr
my_photo2005.scr
see_this!!.scr
and drops a file called hellmsn.exe (detected by Sophos as W32/Mytob-D) in the same location. This component attempts to spread the worm by sending files through Windows Messenger to all online contacts.
W32/Mytob-CQ also appends the following to the HOSTS file to deny access to security related websites:
127.0.0.1 www.symantec.com
127.0.0.1 securityresponse.symantec.

W32/Mytob-CQ is capable of spreading through email and through various operating system vulnerabilities such as LSASS (MS04-011). Email sent by W32/Mytob-CQ has the following characteristics:
Subject line chosen from:
Good day
hello
Mail Delivery System
Mail Transaction Failed
Server Report
Status
Error
Message text chosen from:
'Mail transaction failed. Partial message is available.'
'The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.
'The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.'
'The original message was included as an attachment.'
'Here are your banks documents.'
The attached file consists of a base name followed by the extentions PIF, SCR, EXE or ZIP. The worm may optionally create double extensions where the first extension is DOC, TXT or HTM and the final extension is PIF, SCR, EXE or ZIP.
W32/Mytob-CQ harvests email addresses from files on the infected computer and from the Windows address book as well as the Microsoft Internet Account Manager.
W32/Mytob-CQ also drops a file 2pac.txt in the Windows System folder. This file may be deleted.
The following patch for the operating system vulnerability exploited by W32/Mytob-CQ can be obtained from the Microsoft website:
LSASS (MS04-011) security vulnerability
