I have seen one other person pose this question and do not think it was
answered. Every time I switch off I get the error above. I have no
applications running, so the Windows application taskbar tells me. I have
run several registry cleaning tools, completely tuned off error reporting,
reinstalled xp patch 2 but all to no avail. I have also checked in the
application error log and there is nothing there. The final thing I tried
was a scan for missing windows files. Can not remember precisely the command
but found it on google. The error is driving me mad.......
