    Hi Dan, this is a common enough error, please provide a screenshot of the popup dialog you are seeing and I will work out a solution for you . . .

    Hi Dave 

    It hasn't popped up again yet (not sure how to get it to show on request).

    Hi Dan

    The solution is to basically recreate that file and put an exit script into it

    Open Windows File Explorer

    On the View Ribbon, temporarily turn on 'Hidden Items

    Vavigate to:

    C:\Users\NewPC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft

    Right click in that folder and choose New - Text Document

    Put this text in that file:

    Wscript.Quit

    Then click File - Save As

    At the bottom of the save as dialog, set save as type to *.*

    Save the files as restart.vbs

    Note you must enter the vbs file extension yourself

    Restart your PC and that message will be gone !
