FYI:
for those who have upgraded from older releases, and who might see this error during startup every time: I saw on this forum, similar issues, but with different HEX error codes. I noticed that some users managed to remove thier problem by changing some options (some Voice options in one case). So, I decided to have a look at some possible culprits in my desktop. I found that by going to the EDIT -> PREFERENCES, and finding a couple of possibilities, I decided to try firstly turning on the Java option to show the console to debug any errors (in case it was Java related - as Java has had some recent updates), PLUS I decided it would be a good idea to purge the fast search cache (option is under the search option form the left pane).
One of those fixed this issue, and I would guess it is the cache purge that did the trick. I hope this is useful to someone. ARD1947.
