I have a Dell XPS 8500 with Windows 7 Professional, SP1
with Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, Avast, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. (1) TB HD Intel(R)Core (TM) i7-33-3770 GHz RAM 12.0 GB System type 64 bit operating system I also have a Dell Optiplex 780 Tower computer with Windows 7 Professional SP1, with Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, Avast, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. Intel (R) Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz 4GB RAM, 750 GB HD Sysytem type: 64 bit operating system External hard drives: Seagate Backup Plus (1 TB) 2.5 USB Portable HD WD Black series WD2003FZEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0 Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive I ran updates for the 780 and installed two optional updates. Then it asked to restart and it came up with this: https://s17.postimg.org/el36j1kbv/16_after_updates.jpg I restarted it again with no issues; so my question is should this be of any concern? Thanks, Robert |

Hopefully this is a better picture http://i68.tinypic.com/357ejj8.jpg It's pretty hard to figure out where that might be coming from. https://www.codeproject.com/Articles...nding-Tutorial The program that issued the error, might be in charge of preparing a dialog of sorts. This picture demonstrates how a developer could use DataGridView. https://www.codeproject.com/KB/datab...orial/dbt7.png So if *some* program on your computer, at *some* point wishes to show you something, that kind of code can be used to do it. The library for it is available in VB, ..NET, C#, so the capability is widely available, and could be in new code or old code. The specific error message happens, when two commands are sent to some library at the same time. The library has primitive recursion detection, and it knows that some undefined thing is wrong with the code calling it. In such a case, developers have been using workarounds, such as removing cell formatting, before realigning cells in the display. So it looks kinda like a table generator, and I expect the decorations in that codeproject.com example, don't really show the "power" of the WinForm approach. ******* OK, so what could be doing that ? Now, I'm just using my imagination here. I don't know for a fact this program uses Windows Forms. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html It's possible the table drawn by this program, is a WinForm. So this could be a DataGridView. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.gif ******* If it happens again, and the dialog box is present on the screen, don't panic. Open Task Manager and review what processes are running at the time. Maybe the program doing it, is still running at the instant the dialog box is shown. As soon as you click to dismiss the dialog, the program may exit and then you won't see it in Task Manager. Sysinternals.com Process Explorer is an example of another tool you might use to examine the evidence of the thing throwing the error. The dialog box can just sit there, while you work on it. Every error on a computer means something. And in some cases, it can take months to understand (in the long run), what the root cause was, and just how important it was. You know the error should not have appeared. And the error takes on more importance if it appears a second time. Paul |

Understood, but the thing that I'm curious about
is that I do absolutely nothing on the 780 except updates and scans unless the 8500 has a problem I don't use the 780. Robert |

Robert The strangest thing I ever had happen on a computer, was installing Java JRE. And on the next reboot, a Promise RAID software package started installing itself. The card was no longer present on the computer, and I may have attempted two years previously to install the software and it didn't work. In that case, somehow the presence of the Java software the Promise package needed, allowed the installation attempt to complete. Even though it was happening two years after the fact. I don't think there are too many pieces of software on computers, that work that way. Maybe some .NET thing that changed during a Windows Update, finally allowed some software to start running. You could use Autoruns, to examine the C: to see what Startup items might be armed. It's better though, if you have the dialog box with the error still on the screen, to use Task Manager and look for it. Trying to trace Startup items, isn't a sure-fired debugging method. Paul |

That sounds weird that it would start installing
without the card present. You would think the computer would detect it? I should of opened up the details for you to see but didn't think of it at the time. I started the 780 tonight and everything looks normal. If the problem returns I'll start Task Manager and check it out and post it. Thanks, Robert |
