Apart from the fact thats it's in German I get that error as well. I think the program giving you that message is called Machine Debug Manager. I'm not sure how it got on my computer or yours (I think it might be either Spybot/AdAware) but all its really telling you is that there is a syntax error somewhere which isn't anything to worry about and should probably be fixed in the next update.

EDIT : Actually after some doing some quick reasearch I found out that this program is actually made by Microsoft. Here's the instructions on how to diable it and effectively stop getting that error.

---------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The Machine Debug Manager, Mdm.exe, is a program that is installed with the Microsoft Script Editor to provide support for program debugging. The Microsoft Script Editor is included with Microsoft Office 2000, and also can be obtained from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site.

The Machine Debug Manager runs as a service and is loaded when your computer starts. If you do not use your computer for debugging purposes, you can safely turn off the Machine Debug Manager.
MORE INFORMATION
How to Turn Off the Machine Debug Manager
If you run Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later, you can turn off the Machine Debug Manager by turning off script debugging. To do this, follow these steps:
Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click to select the Disable script debugging check box, and then click OK.
Close Internet Explorer.
If you run Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), delete the registry value that starts the Machine Debug Manager. To do this, follow these steps.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
In the Registry Editor, locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

In the right pane, right-click MDM7, click Delete, and then click OK to confirm the deletion.

NOTE: The value for your version of the Machine Debug Manager may be different from MDM7.
Close the Registry Editor.

NOTE: Running Detect and Repair in Office 2000 adds the registry entry for the Machine Debug Manager and causes it to run at startup. If this occurs on your system, use the previous procedure to remove the registry entry.
