This error is shown after the Windows Logo is displayed? Or if you had started a program.

You can try to find this in the services that will be started during starting windows. If find disable this service and see if the problem is gone and you don't have any problems with the rest of your programs.

Yes, it shows after start up.  Before opening any programs.

Not sure how to find it in services - could you direct me please?

This is part of the ATI Catalyst Control Center. Are you using an ATI video card? Did you recently update the driver or control center?

I have recently installed/updated

I don't know whether that has anything at all to do with the problem

Could be. The catalyst driver needs net framework to work. Try uninstalling the latest update you just did for net framework and test.

I have removed the net framework update, and am still getting the same problem.

Maybe be a re-install of the latest net framework will help.

I couldn't find the catalyst control center, but I have disabled
start up item cli                " C:Program Files\ATI technologies\ati.ace\CLI.EXE" runtime -Delay
Location:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows|CurrentVersion\Run
and that has got rid of the error message.

I don't know the implications of disabling this item to computer performance?

It shouldn't affect performance at all, as far as I know. For the average user, it is not even needed. It is used to tweak colors and such and give you expanded control over the video card. If all you ever do is change resolutions, colors and themes, you shouldn't even miss it.

That being said, you can try downloading the latest version from ati and see what happens, or just forget about it.

If it's getting rid of something I don't need, this has been a very useful exercise.  Thank you very much for your expertise, time and patience.
