This error message is telling you that you have a problem with your windows installation, or some program which is loading at startup is causing you this problem. Sending the error report does just that - it doesn't fix anything.

What has caused the problem is hard to say. Could be something went wrong when you loaded a new piece of software, or a power failure/spike - who knows..

If you are using Windows XP or ME then I'd try a system restore first (hold down f8 during boot up, I think). If you're using another Windows version then not so easily fixed. You'll need to identify what application is causing/has caused this and fix or remove it.

If you need more advice ask again with more info and I or others will try to help.
