But you are dealing with an Intuit product.  There hasn't been a computer built to date that can conquer Intuit programming in a cage match.

I get that message now and again, no idea why.  I usually close it and restart and everything is back to normal.  
Are you using the Task Manager in PS to automatically retrieve updates or anything like that, that may be working in the background causing it to be busy?

Its not solved. I didnt say it was fixed. Still get it sporadically after reinstalling and and also uninstalling a repairing .net frame work from the computers. I have 15 hours of labor into computers. N o Solution. Intuit has helped but error still occurs so i cant get paid for fixing it.

Has there been a fix for this issue? I see a bunch of reply but no one seems to have a fix for it. I don't think shutting down a computer and restarting every time I need to efile a client is a fix for the problem. I have been using intuit for 10 years now and this is the first time I have received this error. Very frustrating!!

Look at this article, and pay particular attention to the two blue links about anti-virus (which is probably the most common cause of the problem if it is doing it all of the time).
