Could not load file or assembly '0 bytes loaded from System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, Publi

Hi,
I have a C#.Net winforms application. When I tried to load the application, 90% of the application window is getting loaded but finally, I get the following error:
"Could not load file or assembly 0 bytes loaded from System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format".
I tried reinstalling .net framework in the machine. But still the error persists.
I tried debugging and found out that the problem occurs while trying to create an XmlSerializer object.
<span style="font-size:x-small; color:#008080 <span style="font-size:x-small; color:#008080
XmlSerializer

<span style="font-size:xx-small <span style="font-size:xx-small <span style="font-size:x-small serializer =
<span style="font-size:x-small; color:#0000ff new<span style="font-size:x-small
<span style="font-size:x-small; color:#008080 XmlSerializer<span style="font-size:x-small (<span style="font-size:x-small; color:#0000ff typeof<span style="font-size:x-small (<span style="font-size:x-small; color:#008080 Column<span style="font-size:x-small ));
<span style="font-size:x-small <span style="font-size:xx-small I created a test application with XmlSerialization and the error occurs for this application as well.
This is the error details that I get now.
Exception : Could not load file or assembly 0 bytes loaded from System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
Inner Exception : Bad IL format.
