Hello darb30,
Thank you for using Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
How long have you had this error appear for? Do you get this error at boot up or when you open a specific program? Have you made any changes to your operating system prior to getting this error? Any new Windows Updates or new software/hardware installed?
I would suggest running the steps below. Also, if you have any anitvirus/malware removal programs to scan you system. Please let us know status. Thanks!
