Normally you get a picture like:
w7-jpgedit-1.png

But yours stated: "C\Program"! Most likely somewhere in registry is:
C:\Program Files\somefolder\somedll.dll
but it must be
"C:\Program Files\somefolder\somedll.dll"

or "%ProgramFiles%\somefolder\somedll.dll"

Somewhere double quotes are missing! If no double quotes.... a space is treated like a separator.

That's what confused me. If it had an address following the "Program" part, I could hunt it down, but with this I don't know where to start.

I'll try and watch for it next time. There really doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason; the indicated message just appears. While I haven't noted the exact frequency; I believe it to be maybe two or three times a week.

Thanks, Allan

The latest: It happens on my PC also. I rebooted the PC to Windows 7 (normally on Linux) and got "error.jpg". I sent it to my laptop and saved in temp folder. I then opened up Windows Explorer to check on the file and I got "error2.jpg". So I'll include the attachments: error from PC and error2 from lappy.

What Troubleshooting Steps have you completed yet?

Have you run Malwarebytes and SFC, established a Clean Boot?

Might as well get started because it's not going to fix itself.
 
Start by doing following commands in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html

Code: 
reg query hklm /d /f rundll /s |find /i "c:\program fi"
reg query hkcu /d /f rundll /s |find /i "c:\program fi"
reg query hkcr /d /f rundll /s |find /i "c:\program fi"
reg query hkcc /d /f rundll /s |find /i "c:\program fi"
post output

Code: 
reg query hklm /d /f rundll /s |find /i "%programfi"
reg query hkcu /d /f rundll /s |find /i "%programfi"
reg query hkcr /d /f rundll /s |find /i "%programfi"
reg query hkcc /d /f rundll /s |find /i "%programfi"

All %programfi and c:\program fi entries are enclosed in double quotes... nice. Except....
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\Evernote\Evernote\EVERNOTECLIPPER.EXE REG_SZ Ru
nDLL32.exe

But that's a key name not a value

I'll try and watch for it next time. There really doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason; the indicated message just appears. While I haven't noted the exact frequency; I believe it to be maybe two or three times a week....

The latest: It happens on my PC also. I rebooted the PC to Windows 7 (normally on Linux) and got "error.jpg". I sent it to my laptop and saved in temp folder. I then opened up Windows Explorer to check on the file and I got "error2.jpg". So I'll include the attachments: error from PC and error2 from lappy.

Then try greg's suggestion (see below) - but maybe disable only the apps that are common to both computers. It sounds like you might have to run the computers for a week with stuff disabled to know the results :-(

You know I really don't have a clue; it is quite random. The last time I got it was opening Windows Explorer Win + E., but that was only once. I am on my laptop most, but it happens on my PC also; again randomly. I think I have an earlier post showing two of these messages at one time from the PC.
I have another issue with the Caps key not returning to lowercase; only in Windows 7 not in Linux; so it's Windows related. Neither of these issues are major; just an annoyance. I'm inclined to just forget about them until Windows 8 comes out and start fresh.

Let us know the progress when you get started on Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.

I have Malwarebytes Pro and MS Security Essentials; have ran them both; no problems. I'm not going through all the troubleshooting list. The problem doesn't happen often enough. I could go through that whole list and the chance of it happening is very remote. 17 posts? Make this my last and I'll call it solved. I'll be doing Windows 8 when it comes out so all of this should be moot.

Thanks for being honest about not wanting to do the work.

I thought since you are already a Skilled member you would be interested in getting to know Win7 better which is as much of a benefit of the Troubleshooting steps as discovering the problem at hand.
