Hi jc,
I just happened to see your message. After a month you may already have found an
answer yourself, but in case not, here is some information:
SysFader is not really a process, yet it is spawned as a process by a dll named browseui.dll
when Internet Explorer wants to use transition effects. As is the design of win2k
and winXP, IE is everywhere and these transition effects are also used when you exit
your computer. This information I have from several newsgroups and my own experiences;
MS doesn't say anything about it.
It is not likely that SysFader itself is the culprit. In my case (I also had the
same error you had) ZoneAlarm and PGP Personal Firewall were running simultaneously
and blocking all kinds of stuff, avoiding processes to run and so on. After removing
ZoneAlarm everything went fine again.
The moral here: look at recently installed or changed processes/services/drivers
and see what happens if you remove or disable them. Don't forget to look in the Run-keys
in the registry.
