Default "Error trying to start" message

Hey everyone

Last night I tried to start my car but it wouldn't turn over and the message center displayed "Error trying to start.Please try again."This is the first time that this has happened and when I tried again, it started but seemed to turn over for a good 6-7 seconds. It was cold in Chicago last night (23 degrees) but it's been way colder and has started no problem. I am curious more than anything what this means and wants toavoid any major problems. I just had my oil replaced at the dealer three days ago, but I don't think this would be the cause of anything. Has anyone elsecome across this message? Thanks for any information.

James

It means the computer was having a hard time reading the key.
