Anyone else get this or know what it means? I've been getting it the last few days when I put the machine to sleep for a while. When I wake it up I find a new app on the taskbar and it maximises to this error window. Nothing else appears to be wrong.

DWM is in charge of compositing your desktop via your GPU. See if there are any updates available for your card, as a driver issue could be to blame (especially since you're getting this when resuming from sleep)

I find it funny that the DWM stopped working yet it's managing to render a nice shiny border on the error message.

Normally that kind of error is shown after the application at fault has automatically restarted itself (It does the same for video drivers, and says "NVIDIA [whatever] stopped working")

Graphics drivers were updated recently. Hmm? Perhaps that caused the problem?
