Closing program to save computer?

Several times now I have clicked on Start to go to Programs and it froze on me. I mean it wouldn't let me go past Start. Then I got a message saying that windows needed to close this program in order to protect my computer. Then it offered me the option of sending an error message. The only thing is I didn't have any program open.

I didn't do anything to try to correct this since I'd have no idea what to do.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, what it's about? And what I can or should do about it?

If this is what you see, click the click here and post the error message.

Also you can look in event viewer for red circle with red X's and post what they have to say.

If if happens again I will post the error message. I have the thread bookmarked.

If you have no programs open when that happens, its likely that the system.exe file is what crashed. If thats the case, I would do an over the top install, but I'm jumping the gun a bit. Lets wait and see what error you actually get.
