Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Try disabling Windows Aero (it's all useless resource hogging fluff anyways) and see if you still get those popups. Is this related to Eve alone, or are you having this occur when using other programs?

You can also try taking a peek at your Event Viewer (Start > Control Panel > System and Security > View Event Logs, its under Administrative Tools near the bottum) to see what might be causing the popups to trigger. That should be your first stop when diagnosing an unusual issue like this.

Once you're there, click on the Windows Logs dropdown and select System. It will take a few seconds to load all the events, since you can easily have a crap ton of them and not all of them are problems. Most of them should be Information events and can be safely ignored, though keep an eye out for ones that have Critical, Warning, or Error Levels (yellow and red icons). When you get a popup again, make a mental note of the time and check back here to see if something erroneous occurs at that time. That can give you a good idea of what's going on when this happens.

I rebooted and launched EVE, and within a minute I was kicked out to the warning message again. I closed EVE and Steam, and then checked the logs and didn't find anything that seemed helpful.

I see a service control manager error, but I'm pretty sure it's related to my antivirus (MSE) being unable to update because I have windows auto updates set to off (I prefer to do it manually about once a week or so). All the googling seemed to point to this.

But that's all there was. Everything else seems to just be "information", which I scanned through as well but didn't see anything that seemed to be related.

Keyword here is that the message keeps poping up

it will disable the system checker completely
1.Go to the Start Menu and type Action Center on the Search box
2.Start it (it should be the top entry, under the "Control Panel" group)
3.On the left sidebar, click Change Action Center settings
4.Untick the Windows Troubleshooting checkbox, under "Maintenance Messages".
5.Click the Ok button and you are done.


other option is to set the game executable option to turn off aero only when eve is running, that will restart aero when eve closes, I don't really understand what you call "tearing"

I have difficulties representing what tearing means, but I assume it's some kind of ugly visual artefacts where the screen seems to bleed or is splitted.

anyway I never saw that expect with bad video card drivers


are you up to date
when you disable aero and reboot with aero off, does it still happens?

did you also try my first solution : disablng warning permanently at system level ?
