Did you run Netmeeting recently? I was getting the same error message too and managed to track it down to Netmeeting causing the problem. If you run and then close Netmeeting, the problem should go away.

hey
ok i found out that it was because i disabled direct draw in the direct x program!!, i have been experiencing other problems with my computer so i disabled that in trying to solve this other prolem lol and i forgot to enable it again
if you still have probs with it i typed the error message in to google and it came up with some possible solutions mainly things like video drivers but its worth a look
Thanks
