Try the UPHClean service from Microsoft.

Here is one microsoft article on the subject, a google search lands a lot of these hits. You probably need to evaluate the system overall and see if any changes recently may be a causal factor. Maybe run PC dr., check the event viewer for red X's and see if these are any indication of a perceived problem.

A registry cleaner might help. Disk defrag, some routine maintenance might be in order. Sometimes ms updates can cause issues with certain software or hardware on your machine.
