Just finished installing Windows 7 and with every window change, the following message appears "Unable to Create Event, GetLastError Code: (5)". This appears with every new window. It's more an annoyance than anything else because all I do is "x" it off each time it appears. What can I do to permanently stop it from popping up. Thanks.

Did you upgrade to Win7 or was it a clean install? 1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start IE in No Add-ons mode: => Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or => Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet Explorer (No add-ons). 2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using! 3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your subscription current, and is it supported in IE8 and Win7? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed upgraded to Win7 (if you did so)? 4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine-in-question (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?If you have Norton Security below 2010, uninstall it as it causes problems, only 2010 is compatible.MCSE, MCSA, MCDST [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.
