Comment:

I keep receiving an error message from windows VISTA stating the following: "Potdata MFC application has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Note: it states "potdata", not "postdata"

Any suggestions? I do not have any software installed like Nero,Zone Alarm, or any DVD burning software like Roxio or Nero. I use bitDefender 10.3 (build 247)and have APC powerChute personal adition 2.1 for VISTA running.

I had Spy Sweeper 5.3 installed but had to uninstall it (used webroot removal tool)because that really screwed things up. Worked fine since I removed it 6 weeks ago.

I'm not using a brother printer re: MFC error msg.

I'm also getting "Microsoft Feeds synchronization has stopped working" error message.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

This is your second post addressing the same issue, right? Your first is HERE. As I told you earlier, I ran out of ideas after trying to help you. Have you e-mail M$?

potsdata is your PowerChute software. Uninstall/reinstall it or look for an updated version.

Yes, called M$ and they have no idea; which is what I anticipated. Posted again to get new eyes looking at this post.

My next step will be to reformat HD if necessary but I want to give it another shot here before I do that.
