julia3435 ....... When did this start ?  Is there a place to click in that box to fix the situation?  ( Don't click any links in that box).

What operating system are you using ?

What bug (malware) protection do you have installed on that machine?

Please let us know.

is the box the only thing that comes up? does windows load or is the rest of the screen blank if so your resolution is probably to high or your monitor has died on you do you have a diffrent (possibly newer better) monitor to try out on this pc?

thats a message from XP telling you that the display settings are not set the best for the type of monitor you are using.

I would change the display...control pannel...display....

you may need to try a few of them to see which one works for you
