I get this error on lots of my items.. what can i do to fix it??

That's easy.  Use shorter button labels in your llDialog function calls.  Labels are limited to 24 characters, of which no more than 12 are actually visible.  See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlDialog

The problem is your dialog button labels are too long.  As an example:

list buttons = [ "this label is much too long for the dialog button", "this is ok" ];default{    state_entry()    {        llListen(-123, "", NULL_KEY, "");    }    touch_start(integer num_detected)    {        llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), "Dialog Test!", buttons, -123);    }}

 This will generate the error you are getting, because the first button is over 24 characters long.

 

Try something like this instead:

list buttons = [ "this label is much too long for the dialog button", "this is ok" ];list buttons_truncated;default{    state_entry()    {        llListen(-123, "", NULL_KEY, "");        for(i=0; i < llGetListLength(buttons); ++i) buttons_truncated += [ llGetSubString(llList2String(buttons,0),0,23) ];    }    touch_start(integer num_detected)    {        llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), "Dialog Test!", buttons_truncated, -123);    }}

 which uses llGetSubString() to truncate each element to 24 characters in length and adds it to a new list, that is used in the llDialog() function.

What the others said.   And, if you're building the dialog button list on the fly, as I often do, with something like 

 

list buttons =  llList2ListStrided(my_list,0,-1,stride_length);

 use llOwnerSay to check that list buttons is what you think it's going to be -- most usually when I see that error message it's because I've messed up building the list somehow.
