I keep getting this message at various points of operation, even when I am just looking in the control panel. Running Windows ME on a Dell Inspiron 4000. What does this mean? How do I correct the problem?

ME does not give great info on its errors. To get detailed information on the error can be viewed. While the message stating that there has been an error is still on display, press [Alt]+[D]. This displays the error message details for review.
When the error has already occurred, or you wasn't able to press [Alt]+[D], you can access the errors using the steps below.
1.Right-click the My Computer icon, and click Explore from the menu
2.Double-click the drive icon where the Windows directory is (the default is C:\Windows)
3.Double-click the Windows directory
4.Find and Double-click the file Faultlog.txt
5.Examine the entries for the error details
good luck
