This black box is popping up like crazy these days. If you right click a picture, mp3, video file, anything really. It just seems to randomly pop up. I looked around online and everyone acts like its a Win XP issue. But...heh I am on Vista. Any ideas how I can get rid of it? I tried having my nortons antivirus block it, but it still pops up. It does not seem to be doing anything harmful...it is just annoying as heck.


I am running Windows Vista on a Compaq Presario PC. Model SR5250NX

the problem is you are using a PC.

God I seriously hate how Mac fans act. It's a computer choice, not a freaken social club.

This is what i found regarding errors in the program that that is referencing:

What I don't understand, is why on a new computer with Vista....am I dealing with an XP issue from 2006?

Possibly a new update broke the program?

While I am still very curious as to the issue, I have found a nice fix. I loaded up Sunbelt Personal Firewall, and used its block feature. No popups now at all. Everything is running wonderful. And all the world rejoiced. Or at least I did.

Maybe I read that wrong, but isn't this program used to see if you're running a legit form of windows? Blocking it means you won't be able to run normal system updates for Vista, or that's what I'm guessing... I could be completely wrong.

Heh. I am almost 100% sure now it was one of the Vista updates that brought this on me. Maybe no more updates is a good thing? If at some point I need an important update I could shut down Sunbelt and let it go then set it back up.

Did it still allow to do whatever you were doing with right-clicking the file?

Tried going into the task manager. If you then go to processes you will probably find the program. I once had a problem like that and since it drove me crazy I ended up deleting the file. Now I can't tell if deleteing the file will cause any problems. I useualy back my computer up though just in case.

A popup blocker is blocking popups from the DOS prompt? o.o

W4C yes after you X'd out of it, things would be normal till it would pop up again minutes later. Jaden, I could not edit or delete the program without being told I did not have permission. And Etoh, it's not a popup blocker....its a weird thing that makes any aplication get ok'd. I love it, I went around and ok'd all my normal programs...now anything new that comes along and tries to run if I don't ok it, it goes away. Huzzah.

While I try not to be an OS-elitist, Vista does have some serious problems. Like XP before it, it will probably require a few years and a couple of service packs before it is stable.

So if it was some kind of update that caused these errors, it wouldn't surprise me. It's probably a good idea to nix it for the time being and they'll probably fix this along with a bunch of other stuff in a major update later.
