On boot-up of WinXP Pro, I get the following error message:

CWindow Controller
Shell_NotifyIcon NIM_ADD failed

What does it mean, and what should I do about it?

Thanks for anyone's help!

Hi Stan,

Have you installed any software just prior to this
happening?

It looks like a program that loads at startup is trying
to initialize a System Tray icon, BUT is failing to do
so.

Try and Click Start, Run, then enter MSCONFIG

Go to the Startup tab and uncheck the each startup item
until you find the program causing the problem...

Kind Regards

Hmmm, truth is, I don't remember, but I'll take a look at msconfig and see
if I can figure it out!

Thanks for the response, and I hope your wife is feeling better.
