This message appears on my desktop everytime I use my computer. I can't close it, can't minimize it, and it's right in the middle of my screen. I run task manager to see if I have programs running and I do not. This started about a week after getting windows 7. I even tried a system restore right after it happened and that didn't fix it. I'm not sure what program is attemtping to run or why this message is coming up. How can I get rid of this so I can actually see my desktop background. Help

    2. Click Start, and then click **Control Panel.**3. Under System and Security, click **Find and fix problems.**4. On the task pane on the left, click **View All.**5. Click Internet Explorer Performance. This opens a new window.
    3. Click Next.

    The troubleshooter will run and fix all identified issues automatically. Click Close.

    After the troubleshooter has successfully run, try to browse to the Internet again.

    Method 2: Use the Delete Browsing History feature

    Did you ever get this resolved?  I just started having the same problem but my error page covers the entire screen and is always on top so, though I can do a Alt Tab and see other screens it won't stay on them so I can do anything.  How did you resolve this?
