    Upon startup of windows every single time I'm getting the error message of:

    Desktop Window Manager Stopped working & was closed

    What is this and how do I make it go away?

    This seems to have cleared itself up with the win7 service pack 1 (this was a clean install of win7 on a new computer) so I guess I'm good, thanks.
