What is causing this system error and how do I fix it?

The following system error appears every few seconds in the system log of my wife's computer:

I have run Tech Tool Pro Advanced Tests, repaired the permissions, and restarted the computer multiple times but noting has fix the error. What is causing the error and how do I fix it?

Last night I revisited the problem and discovered that I had not emptied the Print Shop Importer from the trash. I emptied the trash, restarted the computer, and the error messages stopped. Also before I restarted the computer I noted that Time Machine had stopped backing up and that Spotlight was indexing the hard drive. I blocked the indexing before I restarted the computer. In any event the original problem seems to be fixed.

  • Sduncs00 I am having the same problem what website was acting like that and how did you fix it

    What website do I go to and how do I fix it

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    and, if necessary
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect to this network OK?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What is wrong with icloud mail  and how do I fix it?

    What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?
    I put the icloud mail login address in the browser, it brings up the login screen.
    I put the login details in correctly, it says icloud has stopped responding, I always send to Apple.
    It restarts and  I get the right screen, below, but all of the icons are blurred out. If you hover over them they sometimes indicate what they are but won’t let me launch them.
    I am using an Advent Laptop with a Celeron processor with Windows 7 and the browser is Internet Explorer  11 for Windows 7.  (I know I am expecting  a lot of it). All of my software is up to date.
    Any ideas? I a not very techy but I'm not afraid to have a go...it communit question. Thanks fr your help.

  • What does this error2 mean and how do I fix it?

    What does this error mean and how do I fix it?  I am trying to reinstall CS4 on my Windows 8.1 machine. 
    Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
    Error:
    Error 2.
    Here is the initial error: http://s29.postimg.org/wqy2ju8iv/Untitled.png
    Here is a screenshot when I click the "More Information" button: http://s27.postimg.org/bugb7rx7n/Untitled2.png
    And here is the screenshot when I click the "Get Support" button: http://s4.postimg.org/c2ynvhmvx/Untitled3.png
    I'm stumped.

    Hi there I've just installed CS4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit and got exactly the same result as you. Did you manage to find anything out, because the thing that bothered me was the limited functionality (what ever that is). Is it just a case of Windows 7 having a newer version of ActiveX already installed?

  • What's wrong with my screen and how do I fix it? My iphone 4 froze so I reset it. After it turned back on I found that the screen ( the backlight, i assume) was flickering a lot at the edges.

    I went to settings and turned down all the brightness and the flickering disappeared but as soon as I turned it back up it started flickering again so I decided to reset  my iphone again. After the iPhone (4) turned back on I tried pulling the brightness up again, now I can see faint vertical lines up and down the screen ( like a grid) and turning up the brightness still results in more flickering. Also, as I type this, the keyboard on my iphone is slow to recognize touch. Before it froze I had been watching a 2 hr documentary on YouTube. Did it freeze because I used the phone too much? And my iphone was on the settings app when it froze. How do I fix the flickering (and is it going to cause more damage?) and how can I make the iPhone more responsive (faster) to touch? Your help is appreciated. (Everybody hates a slow keyboard)

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Several times I've downloaded albums from iTunes to find that some of the tracks did not get fully downloaded so that the track with skip to the next one. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    Several times I've downloaded an album from iTunes to find that not all of the tracks were fully downloaded so that some of the tracks will skip to the next one (instead of finishing the song). Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies.
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
