I believe its a dll connected with the Intel Graphics Accelerator, and as
such your PC would appear to have a video driver problem, any updates on
Dell site for your specific Tag#?
Who said reinstall?

Yes, I get the same problem... brand new Dell Inspiron 1525, Vista Home
Premium 32bit (SP1). The error appears immediately after going into
Windows for the first time. Before anything else has been installed
(before updates). For me the error dialog appears 4 times. The
suggestion to reinstall is part of the Windows error. Windows Update has
since installed 17 security updates, 3 optional updates (including
Intel) and 8 microsoft software updates - but no change to this error
which I get everytime I go into Windows. I also get this same error when
I try to view Intel graphics properties via Control Panel.

However, the machine does seem to operate OK once the error has been
closed and the Intel control panel applet does work (as far as I can
tell).

I think the error occurs at startup because of an application that
tries to run in the notification area / system tray.

We do not seem to be alone on this. I have seen posts on other forums
(in fact 'this thread here'
(http://www.vistax64.com/vista-perfor...ed-errors.html)
for one) regarding new machines (not just Dell) and also after Windows
Updates that appear to suffer this problem. However, I have not seen a
solution and cannot find any updated drivers?

What I find amazing (like the OP) is that this is a brand new machine
without any additional software/hardware installed.

I'll post the full error message later, but to be honest if I don't
find a quick solution by tomorrow I'm going to be on Dell's ass!
