Strange yellow icon in windows taskbar

[drunkenmunky]

Recently I've had a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle pop up on the taskbar for no apparent reason. It also makes that "pop" sound when it appears. When I click on it it just disappears. I've had it come up when playing games and during normal use, browsing the internet, etc.

Anybody else ever have this and know what it is?

Thanks. I never knew about that event viewer

I have 2 errors..

"The COM+ Event System attempted to fire the EventObjectChange::ChangedSubscription event but received a bad return code. HRESULT was 80040201."

and..

"The COM+ Event System failed to create an instance of the subscriber partition:{41E90F3E-56C1-4633-81C3-6E8BAC8BDD70}!new:{D3938AB0-5B9D-11D1-8DD2-00AA004ABD5E}. CoGetObject returned HRESULT 80070422."

I have no idea what this means. There is a link to Micro$oft site about the erros but it just comes up saying there is no additional information about this error. Typical.

It looks similar to that but just a triangle, not a shield icon. I never use Windows Update, I have it disabled. I have balloon tips disabled aswell so I will turn them on and see if it comes up again.

Not sure about the pagefile, I haven't changed it so it shouldn't be that.

Thanks for the help
