Mathematica Question

Hi, I was working on some differntial equations and decided to have
Mathematica plot some Phase-Space solutions, which was simply a plot of
a circle of the form X^2+Y^2=R^2 - this resulted in several messages
from Mathematica about saying that it was not a "Machine-Size Real
Number" at several points on my range...I had a similar error message
when I tried plotting Y^2=X (Plot[{Sqrt[X], - Sqrt[X]}, {X, -10,
10}])...I was still able to get a plot of my solution, but I was just
wondering what caused these messages to appear and what they mean (I'm
new to using Mathematica)...If anybody knows, please e-mail me.

Thanks in advance.
