I am running a Dell Dimension laptop Windows Vista system 32
When I boot up and the system starts to populate the screen and turns everything on.. I get an error message that says (Application failed to initialize properly 0x0000022)Click OK To Terminate

Does the computer work fine, except for the error?
Does the error window have any title?

The computer seems to be working OK besides the occasional pop up with the error message.
When I first noticed the problem, Trend Micro security caught some suspicious activity from a file called msn.exe it said it was trying to run a program without permission so Trend Micro offered the option to block the program from running its course which I opted for. Then I went searching online to find out what the program was that was trying to access the system and I found a link that said it was a virus.... So I went in search of it on my computer and couldn't find it so
I went online to do some research and read a link that said it was a virus and that I needed to go to the task manager and disable the program and delete it.. I disabled the program but didn't delete it because I wasn't for sure what I was doing and I figured I could come back and delete it after I did some more research,When I went back later to look at the program in the task manager it was not there. But I am sure the program is running because when I disabled it the first time through task manager it turned it self back on after I rebooted. Sometimes the error message will show up in the tool bar before it pops up in the window and the error message in the tool bar reads on the face of it says (msn) and when I click on it to open it up and it says (The Application failed to initialize Properly (0x0000022)
I also noticed that it said it was some type of software.
