I keep getting error messages on my computer. The first is a MMtask error . The second is a NSIS error message. I would like to know what is causing them, and what I need to do to stop them from occurring. Your help would be appreciated. Mike

Perform clean boot to clarify if the problem is caused by your computer's environment (that is, by conflicting drivers, terminate-and-stay programs or other settings that are loaded at startup) To do so:

1 Click "Start" -> "Run" and type "msconfig", press Enter;

2 Under "General" tab choose "Selective startup" and unselect ?Load Startup Items? checkbox;

3 Reboot to see if the problem persists and notify me about the results Our further strategy will depend on them.

NOTE: If you are not able to connect to Internet after performing Clean Boot, please do the following:

1 Click "Start" -> "Run" and type "msconfig", press Enter;

2 Under "General" tab choose "Normal startup" and click OK;

3 Reboot your computer.

I hope this works.
