What do I have?

[dpac]

Ok recently i get this pop up (not an advertisment) on my comp that says "error something another", I close it and it keeps coming back instantly, I finally have to control alt delete the fucker a bunch of times before it is gone, but it than randomly comes back. I have ran some some anti adware programs which informs me that I have no adware on my pc. Any help on this problem?? What is it? How do I rid it??

 

thanks for any help

"error something another"

My god! Not a something another! You're really screwed now!

 

 

 

 

 

HINT: It's difficult to determine the cause of an error message when you can't read the error message in question.

Could you be more specific about the error message?

[dpac]

Next time it comes up I will write it down.

[dpac]

ok, it says

 

ERROR 016423F: The service cannot accept control messages at this time. :$

[tekcop]

Well... I can't really help you, but a google search showed that it is an error code from Windows itself. As for what it mean, I have no idea.

 

Edit: The error code seems to be 1061 if that'll help you any.

The service? Sounds like potential spyware.

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

 

Turn off things that look like they weren't provided by Microsoft with Windows, reset, and try again. Be careful, though.

Thanks for the advice, any idea on how to make sure what is from Microsoft and what isnt?

They'll usually say 'Microsoft' or 'Windows' next to it.
