Unhandled exception error has occured in your application

Question
-
Hi Friends,
I am new here in this forum.
I came here with a problem that has been nagging me since morning. I tried a lot but couldn't figure out how to solve this.I did a lot of Google search but that didn't help me at all. Now I am seeking the help of experts here in this forum if somebody can help i will be greatly obliged and indebted to him/her.
Here's my problem -
l was running a Pearson practice exam software for last 1 month or so without any problems ,but suddenly from yesterday I couldn't open the exhibits attached with some questions. Whenever I am clicking on the exhibits button on the exam engine it is opening a window (pop-up) and giving the following error message-
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click
Continue. the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If
you click Quit. the application will close immediately.
Application not found."
The log attached with the above error window says -
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for
this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
The above log maybe tells about some solution but I couldn't understand how to do that debugging?Note:The exhibits which uses notepad are opening but the exhibits opening ONLY with Microsoft Word are giving the above mentioned errors.
There is a PCPT.exe.config file in the Pearson IT Cert Test folder. Do i need to debug it? How to do that?
Do I need a new dot net framework? I have dot net ver 1 an 4.0 installed.I am using Win 7 home basic
Why is this happening ,i am clueless.Please help
Thanks in advance
With Regards

The messages you posted indicate that .NET 4.0 is REPORTING a problem in the Pearson Application.
You can verify your .NET 4.0 with this tool:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx
Run the tool with .NET 4.0 selected, then look carefully at the last few lines of the log for test app results. If the app returns code 0, your .NET 4.0 is fine and you need to contact Pearson tech support for help with their app.
