Hi phong :-)

A few details might help...

When did you start having the problem? Before or after you installed SP2?
Do you have MSN Messenger installed? If so, do you use it?
What is the exact wording of the error message you are getting?
When you open the link in ebay, does it open in a second window?

Jan :)
