Real weird error when closing the Task Manager

Windows Vista 32 Ultimate

I keep getting the attached error each and every time I close the task
manager AND the volume control applet. Nobody, but nobody at Fry's or Best
Buy service centers have a clue why this is happening.

Anybody have any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Mike

Re: Real weird error when closing the Task Manager

Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click
on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator".
Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key.

Re: Real weird error when closing the Task Manager

Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click
on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator".
Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key.

This procedure will scan Vista's protected system files
and attempt to repair or replace missing or corrupt files.

Re: Real weird error when closing the Task Manager

Thanks for the info (Andre and Carey),

I ran the scan and rebooted, no joy yet, I still get the same error. This
is really puzzling. Can you think of anything else I can try?

Thanks for your help.

Mike

Not a solution as such, but might give you more info about the problem ...

Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, Problem Reports and Solutions,
View Problem History.

Double-click the problem record, to see the problem details. Some more
detailed info about the crash will appear.

You can also use this panel to check for known solutions, from Microsoft.
This does actually work, sometimes - I fixed a couple of issues by checking
for updates, here.

The error details may include an exception code, like 0xC0000005 - these
codes are very useful to folks who know how to debug problems.

There may also be a dump file and a text file with details of the crash.
These can be useful to experienced debuggers, although a bit inscutable for
end-users. At least, you select the option to send the dumps to Microsoft,
so they are aware of the crash.

Hope it helps a bit,

Re: Real weird error when closing the Task Manager

I notice the Problem Reports and Solutions engineers are fairly responsive
with feedback, so thats definitely a good idea.
