"The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

You may be having trouble with your harddrive. I'd run checkdsk to see what's going on with your harddrive.

[jskalb]

Oh and also i have tried everything.. Uninstalling and reinstalling. Restarting but it isn't working. It won't reinstall when i try.

[jskalb]

I'm sorry but I'm usually good on computers but not the harddrive. What do you mean by trying checkdsk?

[jskalb]

ok i did the search and it said Windows was unable to complete the disk check on Phase 1.

That doesn't mean anything good!

Quickly save all your personal data to an EXT HD and then , but this is kinda the wrong forum

You should probably take your computer to a local repair shop and have them check it out.
