Above error message appeared When trying to load 'Email Saver XE' (Sorry, I misquoted error message previously). Software did not load. What does this mean? What can be done about it? Help would me much appreciated.

Use system restore to a previous date. If your program works after restore you may need to get any updates available for it.

Brilliant answer. Illuminated the subject for me. Plenty of information and useful references. Very grateful to Hal 9000. In fact, in the circumstances have decided to keep the Updates and abandon Email Saver and buy another program. Delighted to have made an INFORMED decision.
