    Did you tweaked your System?
    Windows 7 is very sensitive, it can't be tweaked generally.
    I experienced this if I tweaked the System.

    By the way, did you try to restart the laptop and try again?

    If still can't, you can contact MS. Or, the other here might help.

    If your file is very urgent, try, Ubuntu Live CD. Copy the file from C to D easily without problem at all.
