"Symantec Service Framework has encountered a problem and needs to close..."

Hi @ all,

 

me again. Today as I updated my  programs on my PC, I got suddenly the above message. I'm using  Win XP SP3 and NIS 2010 17.7.0.12, after that error was displayed, I restarted my PC and until now, I didn't got it again.

 

Does anybody knwo, what this was? Do I really have to reinstall NIS? Would be not very nice...but if it's the only way..

 

Maybe someone from Symantec has an answer?

 

Greets!
