When does it display this message, are you opening an application, if yes,
are the applications Windows XP compatible or perhaps 16-bit applications.
Many older Windows apps are 16-bit and can result in such an error.

If not, make sure your antivirus is up to date and run a scan also,
download, install and run Ad Aware, www.lavasoftusa.com.

Does the message display on start up? If so, try to avoid it by booting into
safe mode. Or you can boot your computer from the Windows XP CD and try to
recover/copy the file to its original location.
