Microsoft .Net. Framework error

I am using Vista Home Premium (32-bit) on a Dell laptop. Any time my
pointer travels outside the screen area (but only in the lower right-hand
section, near the task bar), I get the following error message:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application........

Cannot anchor balloon at position '(X=1294, Y - 1193).' This point is not
contained within the visible bounds of any screen."

Is this annoying, or what! There must be some setting somewhere that is
incorrect.

Regards,

Check for the latest mouse and touchpad drivers from Dell for your model of
laptop.

Using msconfig, I unchecked Microsoft .NET. Framework NGEN v 2.0.50727_x86
under Services, and clicked on Apply. This corrects the problem (error
message shown in the initial posting). However, I now am in a Selective
Startup mode with Load System Services not checked. If I revert back to
Normal Startup, the Microsoft .NET. Framework option above under the
Services tab is automatically reselected, and the problem returns.

What is this software that I deselected?

Don't I want to be in the Normal Startup mode?

NET. Framework is required only by certain programs, of which you may not
have any. Your best bet may be to uninstall the program entirely and see
what happens. Should you need it for any apparent reason, simply reinstall
the latest version from Microsoft.

Go back to Normal Startup, then untick NGen, Restart. On restart you'll see
a dialog with an option of not seeing it again.

When I deselect NGEN, click on Apply and exit, I am only asked if I want to
restart my computer. Re-booting doesn't offer me any options.

In going to Programs via the Control Panel, I note that the version of this
program shown there is Microsoft .NET. Framework 3.5 SP1. However, I have a
desktop using Vista 64-bit that has the identical setup as my laptop (with
the problem), and the desktop does not have this problem. Further, I have
VMware installed on the desktop with a 32-bit Vista platform installed as a
guest, and I do not have this problem there either.

If I uninstall 3.5 SP1 from my laptop, will that automatically uninstall the
v 2.0.50727 that shows up under Services in msconfig? Or, perhaps I want to
uninstall v 2.0, and download .NET. Framework again from the Microsoft
download site?

Very confusing.

Because on my laptop (go back to the initial posting), without NET Framework
deselected, when I bring my cursor down to the lower right-hand part of the
screen I get a pop-up error message (also described in the initial posting).
Very annoying.
