Windows could not connect to the system event notification service [View all]

When I started up my computer it started up okay, but a message came up

"Windows could not connect to the system event notification service"

It seems I can browse the web okay, there is a slight different look to the icons at the bottom of the screen, is there anything I am missing out on?
Will it effect the normal use of my computer? Is it an urgent fix and what could be causing the problem.
