Hello Mark,
and welcome to NoWonder!!!

Well, we all get this sort of error message. One pointer... If you did not already try this, one thing to do is press ALT-CTRL-DEL, and wait. Click on the application that is not working on the menu, and press END TASK. This should close the window. Another thing, something I have noticed that helps is that if you system more or less freezes, press ALT-CTRL-DEL, and press cancel. This sometimes unfreezes your computer. If pressing ALT-CTRL-DEL does not bring up a menu, your computer is "locked up," and you must reboot, that is all you can do...

Hope this helps!
