How to get rid of this message ?

[pchan]

Hi All,

This error message is driving my friend nuts. Any idea how to get rid of it ?

Come on pchan, how do we know what your friend is running, what he is trying to do, which program(s) are doing this, etc. etc.? This is a standard error message that can be generated for several reasons from bad or incompatible hardware, buggy software, corrupted system files, etc. etc. and you get rid of it by finding the reason for the message, which brings us back to square one. We need details and a brief history of the problem and computer specs.

A common Vista/Win7 x86 error message. Could come from anywhere. Most recently, there are new variations of a back-door trojan that's giving tens of thousands of users this problem. But the message alone isn't enough info in itself.

And when someone says 'my friend' they often mean that friend is starring back at them in a mirror.

My thoughts exactly.

You didnt't really think anyone could tell you what's wrong based on that little information?

Have you tried Microsoft tech support? Lots of people dump on it but that's usually because they can't understand the answers they get.

One of the reasons people dump on Microsoft Tech support is not because they don't understand the answers they're given, it's because they're expected to believe them.

You get error on Windows startup?

This.

Perhaps Hoser Rob's experience is recent and for all I know it may be better today, but at one time it was so bad that people used to tell the following joke. I've been in IT for over 20 years and while I've heard various jokes about various big companies, I've never heard anything said like this except about Microsoft.

A small passenger plane was approaching the Redmond area but it had lost its radio and some navigation equipment. The plane was otherwise quite flyable and the pilot simply needed to know his current location to manually plot a course to the airport. He happened to notice that he was near a tall building with open windows on the upper floors where people were working. So he got close to the windows and yelled "Where am I?"" Someone in the building yelled back "You're in a plane!" The pilot immediately changed his direction and headed to the local airport with no difficulties and landed the plane safely without a hitch. The grateful passengers asked him "How on earth did you know where you were from that terrible answer you got?" The pilot said "I knew I had to be at the Microsoft campus because I asked a question and got an answer that while factually correct was completely irrelevant to the problem at hand. I knew where the airport was in relation to the campus so it was easy to get to it at that point."

With so little info to go on by the OP:
Try right-clicking on the desktop icon, go to Properties/Compatibility and Run this program as an administrator. If that doesn't help then re-install the program, something got mucked up. CCleaner might be able to fix the registry.

I agree... that joke is at least 10 years old, and as totally relevant today as it was then! and I still laugh at it!
