Event ID: 7016 LitModeCtrl service has reported an invalid current state 32

Question

I am getting all the time the below error in Windows Event Viewer. Throughout the web a lot of people get this error but there are no solutions to it. I was getting the error when i was using Windows 7 and now it is also appearing in Windows 8 Event Viewer. I get this Error at least 10 times every day! Any suggestions why I get the Error ? I can't find anything on Lenovo website about LitModeCtrl.exe.

To get rid of this error just uninstall Power Dial that was installed by Lenovo. There is no other solution.
