What was the point of posting that email 5 times?
Posting here on the forum is not the same as responding to emails from Dell. The forum is user-to-user and not a place to contact or to respond to Dell. We are all volunteers and, aside from the Moderators, we don't work for Dell.

Event Viewer is an advanced tool that displays detailed information about significant events on your computer. It can be helpful when troubleshooting problems and errors with Windows and other programs.
Open Event Viewer by clicking the Start button
, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Event Viewer. 
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

We need lots more details if anyone is going to help you:
PC model
Version of Windows
When do you see the error box? On the desktop? When some app is loading...?
What have you tried?

This is referring to a program that is trying to load. The switch is really a command line parameter for the loading file. It is trying to tell the program to run in auto mode. The question now is to identify the program.

You have downloaded HP Photo Creations. It will start after that . Uninstall it.
This is not a Dell Issue.

Dell Model?
OS Version?
Service Pack Version?
Printer Model?
This is not a Dell issue it is a corrupted windows issue.
Could also Be Malware or failed windows updates.
The Event Log would have clues.
1. When exactly do you get this error message?
2. Does this happen while working on any specific application?
3. Did you make any changes to the computer before the issue occurred?
If the issue occurs on startup or while working on any particular program then I would suggest you to set your computer in Clean Boot state and check if the same issue occurs.
By setting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7:

Note: After clean boot troubleshooting step, follow Step 7 in the provided link to return your computer to Normal startup mode.
