Is this Vista?
Have you done the Custom Updates from Microsoft?

Start menu has a link to Windows or Microsoft Updates. When you get there and it asks click on Custom. I am sure there are a lot if you haven't done this before, so you will have to spend quite a bit of time and will have to go back several times because a lot of them require restart after installation. Do Not do any of the Hardware upgrades from there. Go to your computer MFG's website for those.

The computer Auto update only gets updates that are deemed as critical security updates by Microsoft. The Express on their web page does the same thing.
Only the Custom Update will list all the updates that are available. This is where you get the .net Framework and other non-critical (according to Microsoft) updates. Microstudio does not have anything in the Documents and settings area, so whatever is doing this is external to Microstudio. However it wouldn't hurt to uninstall and re-install it. That may fix whatevre has gotten cross-linked with it.

Do you have Miro Video Player installed? If so uninstall it and then re-install Microstudio and see if it will open.

Is there a folder with the path you listed?
The puzzling part of this is it has nothing to do with Microstudio and should not be showing up when you open Microstudio. Try going to C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Microstudio, find the MicroStudio.exe file and double clicking on it to see if it will open. If it does then your shortcut icon on your desktop and in the Start Menu is bad.

hi dale ,i did what you said to do and the same message still shows up. haven't got a clue why . i've defragged the system. i ran a scan and fix with miracle -sysfixmaster. still have same error. i'm sure it can be fixed but my problems seem to take a while. thanks again paul. i don't know how to see if there is a folder or not. it tells me to de-bug system but i don't have a de-bugger i guess

Forget the debugging. It doesn't help any way.
Have you run a virus scan lately? It may be a shot in the dark but someone did have one cause a problem with Hoster. To look for the folder open Windows Explorer, click on Tools/ Folder Options. Go to View tab. Check the boxes for "Display the contents of system folders" and "Show Hidden Files and Folders" then uncheck "Hide extensions of known file types" and "Hide protected operating system files". The last one will ask you if you are sure - answer yes. Click apply and OK to close this. Now Windows Explorer will show you everything on your hard drive. Follow the path in the error message and see what is there. Do me a favor and write down the exact path listed in the error message character for character so I can try to trace this on my computer.

Sounds like your best bet would be to remove completely and re-install.
Follow the steps below:

IT DIDN'T FIND ANY SO I PUT SEARCH PROGRAM BACK THE WAY IT WAS AND RE-INSTALLED THE SOFTWARE . SAME RESULTS AS BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T DO THE THINGS YOU SAID TO DO BECAUSE I DELETED THE INFO I'M WRITTING IT DOWN SO I WILL HAVE IT AND TRY TO DO TI YOUR WAY. THE ONLY THING THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT THAT THE PROGRAM WORKED BEFORE WITH THE SAME INFO. IN THE COMPUTER. I GUESS IT MIGHT HAVE MOVED THE INFO. AROUND . I UNINSTALLED JAVA COMPLETLY FROM MY COMP.

Follow the above post instructions exactly or it won't work to fix it. Yes the earlier versions of the program stored files in different locations from the current and that is why it is preventing the current version from opening.

Just to clear something up what version of Microstudio are you using?
You need to do the removal through the Microstudio Setup program, not the Add or Remove Programs in the control panel. Doing a search for Microstudio doens cleareverything out, because not all the files used with/by Microstudio have Microstudio in the name. So you need to go to the locations with Windows Explorer directly and not in search and delete as I said. Did you burn the Setup to disc or order it that way from MTU? If you did then try downloading it again from MTU and use the new download to install.
