Re: What does this mean

Its probably in your startup so it keeps trying to run each time you boot the PC. To check if its in the startup you can do this:

Start > Run
In the box type msconfig and hit enter.
Give the system a moment to load and then select the Startup tab at the top.
Scroll down the list looking for Wild Tangent and uncheck the box if its there.
Press Apply then OK to exit and reboot.

If you still have problems with it you can try to uninstall it. Here are some instructions I found on the web for ya. Note - Using Regedit is risky for new users. Be VERY careful of what you do if you open Regedit and only modify files as instructed. Otherwise I will just say that I have not tested the following procedure so use at your own risk. Here is the fix to remove Wild Tangent:

Go to START > Settings > Control Panel
Double click Add/Remove Programs, Select WildTangent,
Click uninstall or add/remove, follow the on screen instructions.
Open the registry editor (Click Start > Run, type regedit). Locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurr entVersionRun
In the right pane, find and delete the following entries ( if they exists):

WildTangent CDA

RUNDLL32.exe "C:Program FilesWildTangentAppsCDAcdaEngine0400.dll",cdaEngin eMain

Follow his steps - now here's the catch i found
Make sure to exit directly out of the registry editor once you delete the file. Don't browse to other folders or it will stay there. Reboot and the computer will save the current settings. Next run, it should be clear.

Good Luck,

It was pretty early this morning when I posted this so I thought I'd add another comment vs edit the above.

The program you are having a problem with is not anything you need on your system so you are safe to remove it. You probably installed another program and this one was burried somewhere in a EULA (one of those 'Click here to agree' type statements).

I've seen it before on systems infected with malware/spyware/adware so you can also try the spybot search and destroy remover and adware to check for other programs that need to be deleted.
