    I hope this is the right spot to post this.

    I have a Alienware M17 1st gen. I recently upgraded the GTX 260 drivers and ran a registry clean to clean the uninstall of the old driver. I used CCleaner and may have used Norton 360 cleaner as well, but not sure about the latter. Google said something about Norton 360 being a culprit for that type of message.

    Anyway, every time I start the laptop this foolish message comes up after a few minutes.

    Could anyone please steer me in a direction as how to fix it. I can probably go with an earlier date restore, but there must be an easy way to fix that problem. I presume that something deleted the wrong files from the registry....probably Norton, but like I said I'm not convinced that I actually ised that cleaner.

    I appreciate the help :)
