Default Error message

This error shows up frequently:
ba4a3a~1.dat
data file does not exist.
What on earth does this mean? Obviously a data file is
missing or some such. How can I fix this? What's a .dat
file?

This may come from an application that runs in the background. Check
your startup settings to find out what is causing this. Applications
that start with Windows can be found he
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP

XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310560).
