The screenshot hardly shows any relevant information. Mailing the full error message to the admin of you local site will, most likely, yield the fastest help on this problem.

A common cause of this type of error is an expired SAS licence. Try typing the word SAS in the Windows Run prompt. If SAS fails to open a session and displays a "Setinit expired" error then that is the problem. If a SAS session does display successfully then you have confirmed that the licence has not expired.
