Looks like you win the prize on this one. Finally tracked down the
program and found out what it is. The program that is giving this
message is called Tbpanel.exe which is part of a package called
VDOtools, which is provided by Palit Corporations as part of their
Nvidia driver installation program. I had long since migrated over to
the reference drivers from Nvidia, but this part of the original Palit
drivers. I uninstalled the VDOtools package. Here's the description:
