Windows 10: Contact: Your local administrator has stopped working.

So the Internet stopped working on windows 7. So I brought a USB internet thing to plug into the computer for internet. But when I did I got this picture that popped up saying "Contact: Your local administrator has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT STEPS TO TAKE TO FIX THIS?
