  -or-

- A corrupt video grabber file exists. Grabber files have the extension .2GR or
  .3GR, and are located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.

MORE INFORMATION

If the error occurs when you are running MS-DOS Prompt from Windows, then the
error is probably caused by a corrupt video grabber file. To replace the video
grabber files, reinstall the video driver.

If the error occurs when running a Windows-based application, then the error may
be caused by a damaged .DLL file. You need to find which .DLL file is causing
the error and replace the file.
