wonder what effect/s it will have on which programs and processes down the
road. Any ideas?

Registry cleaners are dangerous in unskilled hands and in any case would
not help with your error. You need to either contact Microsoft
Accounting 2007 tech support - and this could not have magically
installed by itself, you must have installed it with something - perhaps
an MS Office 2007 trial - or do a System Restore.
You will be able to tell which System Restore point to restore to be
looking at them. When you highlight the dates in bold on the System
Restore calendar on the left, look on the right panel. This will say
what happened. If you are fortunate, you'll see an entry made just
before you installed MS Accounting. That's the restore point you want.
If you are unfortunate and can't find such an entry, then surely you
remember roughly when you installed this new program. Pick a date before
that with the understanding that going back more than a few weeks isn't
a good idea.
I also doubt that you would see an entry in msconfig for SQLDUMPER since
this is only produced when there is an error in whatever is using SQL.
You should be looking for something Office-related that is set to start
with Windows.
You might also see if there is a SQL service running and temporarily
disable it. This is only useful and safe if you have no other programs
using SQL. If you are a home user, you probably don't. To do this:
Start>Run>services.msc [enter]
Scroll down until you see the correct SQL entry, double-click it, stop
the service and set it to disabled.
Here is the homepage for Microsoft Office Accounting Professional:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/accounting/default.aspx
I have no first hand experience with this service, but it's not a standard service in XP, Vista or MS Office. It's possible it was installed with that accounting software. Here is a link to a Google search about that service.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sql+server+vss+writer
Have you got a response from the forum you posted to and did you post to that other forum for Windows Accounting Software?
I can't say what other programs disabling this service will affect. Obviously monitor it and see what happens, but unless you installed some other particular software that needs it, things should be fine. At some point, if it's not needed, you'll want to uninstall that service. Some of those links in that Google search or input from those two forums might help you.
