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
Your ASPI layer is possibly corrupted ! here's the link here at afterdawn to get the tools to check , remove and then re-install your ASPI. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/aspisetup.cfm
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 [bold]and office open[/bold] "" -- 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 [bold]""Check for Updates""[/bold] -- 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 !
[bold]THANK YOU[bold] Can I keep you? ;o) Really appreciate your help! You have saved my computer from a short trip out the front window, and me from insanity!
NO NO NO! I am getting that stupid error again, I am only in IE now, no other windows open, no files waiting to be written to cd, nadda. Opened up a new IE window and up it popped....Server busy...
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 ?
