This is an MS generic error message issued as
a catch-all, so the underlying problem is not
easy to find.  Presumably you've tried the
obvious re-boot?  Also are you using the same
account as before - maybe git fsck needs admin
privileges.  Have you installed any new
software?  Or you might get a clue from the 'Click
here' link at the bottom of the message box.
Look for the module name, then Google for that
with something like 'error'.
