Been searching the KB and Internet for help on the following error, but can't seem to get anywhere.
When I am in IE I get the following error.
The action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem.
When I click on Switch To it opens my start menu and on retry it just stays there.
It is infuriating. I don't want to change from IE as so many people are want to suggest, I merely want to get rid of this error, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kerry

Thanks, tried this, and it is still doing it. If I have 3 windows and office open, it will still give me this error. I am having to shut down and restart all the time. Really frustrating. Any other suggestions?

<<smiles>> you gave me the clue possibly to your problem -- ""I have 3 windows and office open "" -- Here's the link to update OFFICE at the Microsoft website !
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/officeupdate/default.aspx
Top of the page you will see ""Check for Updates"" -- this should download and apply many fixes to your Office software.
Have a great day !

thanks! ;o) Have done the updates, and will do a test to see if I can crash it later. I have another query, if I may. If not its ok.
I have installed pop up blockers, windows security and an ad blocking program, but I still keep getting one particular pop up which is almost as infuriating as the error, espcially cause it usually pops up and causes a third or fourth window to open, what can i do to get rid of it?

Here's a FREE little popup blocker that sits in your tray while your PC is on !
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/pow.htm
Once you have it loaded -- you have to train it ! -- means that when a stray popup shows up , you right click the icon and -- choose ADD/Remove Popup -- then at the bottom part of the new window that comes up -- you will see the url of the popup that came in -- just double click it -- and it will close it and REMEMBER to kill it next time if it comes again -- after awhile you will no longer have any popups coming at you !

What O/S are you running ? Is it updated to the latest ? Did you clean your Temporary Files -- ! Did you run an online scan for virus ?
