    Hello,

    I am using 32-bit Vista Home Premium SP1 (OEM version) installed on a brand new Inspiron 1720. Whenever the machine first goes into sleep mode and then is restored from it, I get the following error:

    Closing the program doesn't seem to affect the computer in any way (although if a game was running when the lid was put down, it will crash), and the error message does not recur on subsequent sleeps/restores.

    Any idea what this is and how to end it? I have searched the forums but not had any luck finding others with the same problem.

    Thank you.

    Did you reinstall the operating system, or did it come preinstalled?
