windows xp is my operating system. I had not used my computer for over a
year and when I started it up last week I received the above message. It
went away after a few days and I thought that was because there had been many
updates pending since a year had passed ...every time I shut down I was
informed that updates were ready to be downloaded and this happened nearly
every time I shut down over a period of 3 or 4 days. Then I was told by my
anti virus system that it was no longer valid so I downloaded a new one...a
few days went by and everything was fine until yesterday when the above
message appeared again and this time I could not get rid of it and had to
turn my computer off....I cannot do a system restore because the last date
available is only the day I started using it again so that would not help my
situation. Would anyone know why I am getting this error message?
This is how the message appears in the window:

Severity 3
Error Code 2147467259
User Code 0
min_strip.png - image could not be found or failed to load


I hope someone can help me with this problem...Thank you
