I'm using a ThinkPad laptop running Windows XP. I've had it for severalas
months with no problems. The only changes I'm aware of (my kids do use it
well) are automatic updates for IE and Norton. For the past week, if Itype
an address in the IE address bar get the above error message and IE shutsAIM.
down. I don't have a problem opening pages from Favorites, I don't have a
problem if I type the address in the search field and click on the result,
and I don't have the problem if I use AOL Explorer accessing it through
may
This is more of an inconvenience than a show-stopper, but I don't like not
knowing why it's not working properly, and I'm concerned that the problem
grow as I had trouble restarting the computer last night. There areseveral
warnings in my event log of "...COM+ Event System failed to fire thedescription
ConnectionMade..." and several information entries that say"The

may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to
display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for

Any help would be appreciated. sherriberi62(removethis)@hotmail.com.
