Answer 1

Did you upgrade from a previous version of QGIS, and have you installed extensions into that version?

I think the problem is incompatibility between the old extension and the new version of QGIS. Can you try renaming C:/Users/bruno.saphy/.qgis (to say, C:/Users/bruno.saphy/.qgis_original), then try running QGIS again?

Answer 2

If you don't want to lose all your settings (by making a new folder for QGIS), try removing just this GoogleLayers plugin first. Deleting the folder C:/Users/bruno.saphy/.qgis//python/plugins\GoogleLayers will be enough.
