Then I clicked program –> MiKTeX 2.9 –> Maintenance –> Upadte MikTeX

So How can I solve this problem?

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\end{document}

Do not update MiKTeX right now, as there seems to be a mess with the tools package. I suppose the problem will be settled very soon.

In the meantime, if you need moderncv, you can proceed as follows: download from CTAN or one of its mirrors, in /pub/tex/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages the file moderncv.tar.lzma + these 3 files: pr.ini, miktex-zzdb1-2.9.tar.lzma, miktex-zzdb2-2.9.tar.lzma, store them in some directory and launch MiKTeX Package Manager. Open the Repository > Change Repository menu, then install from the directory containing the downloaded files.

Added (04-06): The problem has been solved. You can update regularly now
