The indicated program stopped unexpectedly. Yep. Life's Not Fair. Get over it. The message contains details on which program and module stopped, but you're way too dumb to decipher it. Don't feel bad, we made it that way. A matching event with Event ID 1001 might also appear in the event log. So what? That just means you'll feel twice as dumb. 

If an error report was generated for this error, you might obtain even more confusing gobbly-gook about the error by sending the report to Microsoft for analysis. Then, once the sun runs out of hydrogen, you might get a reply. You may also try spending your morning using Windows built in help to troubleshoot the error. Once completed, and you receive the message "Windows cannot resolve the problem", you may decide to consider arson or a ball peen hammer as an alternative. 

What to expect

Microsoft actively analyzes all error reports and prioritizes them based on whether the current bad press we've been getting at the time is affecting our stock price. When a report is submitted, Microsoft will see whether our stock is up or down. If it is up, we discard the error, and wait until it is down again to continue. If it is down, we do just enough so it will rise again. Accordingly, it's not likely that Microsoft will be able to provide a solution for your particular error at any given time, but you may at anytime check the status at MSFT (NASDAQ).
