If you think it's AVG remove it run and their cleanup tool and install MSE it's free.

Hi Joe, thanks for your reply. You are quite right, but I have used AVG for a long time and the error does not seem to cause any problems. However, I still would like to fix it. Sewcat77

Joe, I just received a Linkback today and I am pleased to tell you, that I no longer have AVG and the problem has disappeared. Sewcat77
