Solved What does this error in Event Viewer mean??

[2harts4ever]

Good morning,

I hope I am in the right forum for this question.

I have only had this new computer with Windows 7 Pro for a little more than a week and this morning after reading one of your tutorials I finally found out how to get to and read Event Viewer in Win7.

While exploring my Event Viewer I discovered the following warning and I am curious if this is something I should be worried about?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

This is an advisory which is normal, you have nothing to worry about.

yowanvista,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I never saw this warning in the 7+ years I used XP so I thought it would be wise to check it out. I tried 'googling' it but sometimes the sites found provide more information than my 'aging mind' can process. :huh:

Because of your answer I feel much better.

Thanks and regards,
