Sony Vaio Error Message Every Time Start Up

Every time I turn on the computer I always seem to get an error message that says something along the lines of "Unable to complete this task" but it does not come up immediately just randomly within the first hour of using. There's nothing to do except say "OK" what does this mean?

Maybe take a screenshot or a picture of it with a camera and add as image. We cannot help without the full error message, and the fact that you are saying which model the laptop is does not help either.

It's a Sony VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ.

You didn't understand what I mean. This error is an obvious application error. Telling us you got a Vaio, or a Fujitsu, or a pentium 4 or a Dell does not help us, because it can happen to any PC in the world no matter the brand. It is software problem, not hardware problem. Try to see which application it is. It might indicate an .exe file or a .dll or something similar. If it doesn't, think which applications you recently installed or which seem to not be working anymore. Check around a bit and you can find the culprit I think. If all fails, system restore can do the trick.

The message reads "The application was not able to complete an operation" No details.

'Something along the lines of...' isn't very helpful. If you provided us with the exact text of the error, you could get more information about it, unless there are other Sony Vaio users that are familiar with this. Sorry for being tough :D
