Calibration Agent Controller Already Running. Please remove previous versions first.

[SPollock]

I continually get the message popping up stating "Calibration Agent Controller Already Running. Please remove previous versions first."  It happens all of the time.  Doesn't matter what I'm doing.  This computer is new as of Jan 16.  This started happening a few weeks ago and I have no idea why.  Can someone tell me what Calibration Agent is related to?  What is the Controller for this agent?  Thanks!  I'd like to get rid of this popup and also solve the root problem of course.   There is another post where someone had a similar problem but they never say what the resolution was.
