Hi,
have you tried running the system file checker? If there's any corruption in the system files the SFC will attempt a repair. Right click on command prompt, choose properties then run as admin. Type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.
If the SFC finds corruption it cannot fix then again in a admin command prompt run this command. Type:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Press enter and await results.

I do not think this command applies to Win 7. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825099.aspx
I would try the following 2 commands at the Admin prompt:
regsvr32.exe /u C:\windows\system32\sdrsvc
regsvr32.exe /s C:\windows\system32\sdrsvc
