Not much information to work with, but if you have Microsoft Visio 2002,
this was the first hit in a Google search:

Solution:

Download, install, and activate the appropriate Hotfix.

If this is not relevant, I would suggest you include a whole more
information in your next post! What program were you running when this
error message appeared? What specific action was performed?

Oh, it's a secret action and why you couldn't reveal it here.

Task Manager, Applications tab, right-click the app and select Switch To
(or select it and use the Switch To button).

Neither do we since you gave absolutely no details or context of when
the error message occurs.

Oh yeah, like you have no background jobs running and you don't load
anything on startup. I've only seen that on custom Windows
installations but thereafter the user gets involved in changing the
software configuration.


--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here
is looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you
don't well explain your situation by providing the details that you
already know, don't expect others to know what is your situation.
Explain YOUR computing environment and just what actions you take to
reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go
on (no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually
move on to the next post and never return to yours.

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities
or Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to
Usenet. Despite the appearance of a forum, you are participating in a
newsgroup (Usenet).
