It is a: STOP: c000021a [fatal system error], and seems to be common enough, but no techies here and no desire to spend the usual 5-6 hours on the phone with windows help so looking for another way. It is slow but the frustration level is lower.

If I back click the page goes away and I can proceed as usual. Does this sound legit or is it some scam? Thanks for helping.
