Unknown file: 3447ce.rbf message received at startup

When my Dell XPS 400 desktop loads up, the following message shows up:

Windows cannot locate the following file: 3447ce.rbf; and I get the option to search via the web or pull it up via browsing option.

I have hit a brick wall, as there is no information either way, and even internet search engines do not help.

I cannot locate the file on my machine. McAfee is the anti-virus software running.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Thanks!

I found the info at the following link concerning the file extension ".rbf" and that may help you diagnose your problem - http://filext.com/file-extension/rbf. Your system is looking for a "rollback file" which is a backup of an existing file. Since this error occurs at startup, I would run msconfig and check your startup items to see if you can pin down the offending program.

Edit: I just noticed .rbf is used by other programs too as shown at the link I provided above. Still it should help you diagnose your problem.
