Error message

When I'm just surfing around the web and click on something, sometimes I'll get an error message from Mac about a disk not being ejected properly.

I'm going to try to figure out how to take a screen shot of it so I can post that too.

Any idea why this warning keeps popping up?

I am using the latest update of Snow Leopard. I'll try the command shift 3 shortcut the next time the warning message pops up. Thanks.

You can also use Command + Shift + 4 > Spacebar > click window to just shoot the window.

What about the other two questions?

Here's the exact screen shot.

The only peripheral I have attached to my 2009 MacBook is a USB connected external HD I use for my Time Machine backups.

Exactly the same!

Me too, exactly the same message, I was using a card-reader to save some shots on the desktop and immediately nafter upgrading to 10.6.5, this error message started and for no reason at all.

There is a theory that the OSX 10.6.5 file was corrupted??
