'SysFader': Anyone Know Anything About ?

Question

Hello:

Have been getting SysFader error msg's when shutting down (using XP on new PC)

Anyone know anything about SysFader ?

Could it possibly be the cause of the problem I have been posting
about recently regarding desktop shortcut icons suddenly not working ?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I'm pretty new at all of this.

I did a Google on it, and am totally confused by what I read.
Some say it's a virus, other due to a setting in DISPLAY that allows fading.

My impression is that there were really no posts that sounded like they knew (for certain). Also, many that I just didn't understand.

Thought that someone here, might really have a handle on it.
e.g., what it really is, is it dangerous, and how to (hopefully easily) get rid of it.

Also have a brand new error msg. on closing.
Always something new, it sure seems.

It's: DirectDBNotifyWnd

Not too much in Google on this one.
Any ideas ?

Regards,
Bob

The only thing half-definitive leads to this hotfix.

If it is OE/IE-related perhaps re-installing them may help. If you go ahead with the hotfix set a restore point. (I don't know if these minimal issues make the service packs.)
