New user Access 2003 /OLE server?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

When i start Access 2003 I get an error message:

A problem occured while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE
server or Active X control.
Close the OLE server outside of Microsoft Access. Then try the original
operation again in Microsoft Access.


What is the OLE server?/Active X control?
If my original "operation" was simply opening the application, is that what
is meant by retrying the operation?

thanks
