Hi DRhatje.
Good Morning and I hope your well today. Thanks for your post.
I think thats a pretty good translation,  the error message I was thinking of can be found in the knowledgebase article below.
The suggested cause of the error is that the IMAQ.exe is set (by default) to start on startup. But if you don't have a framer grabber installed on the machine then you could well see this error. The solution is to remove the exe from the startup list on your system. The steps to do this is listed in the link below but in summary, 
From the section in the screenshot you sent me you should be able to
select the "Selective Startup", then navigate to the "Startup" tab and
uncheck the IMAQBoot.exe.
If this reverts back to the default
settings on restart, this is probably an indicator that your Admin
Rights on this PC are limited.
I think that a quick way to check
this is to go to Start>Run and type "regedit". This is essentially a
more advanced way to manipulate similar settings, but if you don't have
Admin Rights on the PC then you would most probably be denied access.
In any case though, please ask one of your IT colleagues to use their
passwords and change this setting. It will get rid of the warning you
are seeing until you start using our Vision Hardware and need to
reactivate it.
Make sure you click on "Apply" before you exit this utility. 
Why do I get "IMAQBoot.exe - Entry Point Not Found" error when I restart computer?

This should at least remove the error message upon start up.
Please let me know how you get on and I hope this helps!
