Is this the full error message, or is there something else also? It would be helpful to have the full error. Also, does the PC work normally if you click on OK?

It would help if you look in the Event Viewer to see if there are any problems there. To do this, do the following:

Open the Control Panel

Double click on Administrative Tools (to do this you may need to select Switch to Classic View at the left hand side)

Double click on Event Viewer

Check the Application and System sections for anything that has an Error since you booted. Post the details of these here.
