Ooh! A bug in Microsoft's program. Looks like it's trying to dereference a null pointer. Somebody forgot to check a return value somewhere I bet.

If you see that, you might as well reboot.

report error and move on... every time it happens....

actually, one time I had it pop up and say "We may have a solution to your problem" and it actually fixed the issue...

but that doesn't usually happen

The first part of the error is a Memory reference. Type that into a google search and it should refer you to the device that is screwing up. I got something similar and it turns out all I needed to do is update my mouse drivers.

At least move the downloaded setup files off the desktop for the stuff you already installed (eg the setup files for AdAware, Spybot, Windows update files, drivers, etc). Put them in a downloads folder somewhere in case you need to reinstall them again for some reason.
