I just changed ISP's to People PC and afterwards began
receiving an error message "mainAutomation server can't
create object". This happens when a new browser window
tries to open and keeps popping up until the page is
finally loaded. But I have to clicking "ok" to make it
continue loading. HELP!!!! Anyone know what could be
going on?
 
1. Perform a repair of IE.

2. Perform a system restore to a date when you did not have a problem with
the object

Click to expand...

Automation server can't create object
Could be caused by BHOs or spywares, Spywares, BHOs Or:

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
