Anne, yes, I do get error messages, if I move the mouse, either on bootup or shutdown.
That was pointed out to me as a possible cause of the messages by some other wise soul
on this list. (can't remember who though)
If I refrain from moving the mouse on boot or shutdown, I don't get error messages.
Are you moving you're mouse when you shouldn't Anne??? ;-) LOL
HTH. All the best.
