This happens with windows XP on a few different boxes that i have (that are in no way of similar hardware/driver sets) but all of them have windows XP. it happens to 2 of my desktops as well as a friends laptop... Right while shutting down, this error pops up and goes away very quickly.

When looking at the properites of the file it says "Microsoft Error Reporting" i have had this after starting up a machine and then shutting it down about a minute later, and also it has happened after days of use. There seems to be no correlation between having programs opened or closed when it happens and i cannot find any sort of a cause. Could this perhaps just be a bug with the OS?

Check my system rigs for my system specs but i dont think it is system specific (4 seperate systems are... 1.33ghz 512 ram kt133a tnt2ultra, 850mhz 512 ram kt133 tnt2 m64, dell insipron 8100 laptop - 1.2ghz, geforce2go, p3 600 abit bh6 sis vid card, 384 ram)
