Just thinking aloud before I got all info requested...
After some search, it may be some IE plug-in giving a problem.
It won't hurt to go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, and hit RESET button.
Restart computer.

I'm not sure about a meaning of my latest find, but the key in question is responsible for:

I guess, I did enough for today, and I'm out.
I hope, I'll find some new info, I asked for, tomorrow when I got back here.
Night, guys.

    The error only comes up when I click Start and the IE icon.  When I click out of the error, it directly take me to windows and displays two windows, then one disappears and I'm left on my homepage.  I tried just hitting the IE icon on my desktop (not thru the Start function) and it doesn't give me the error popup.  That's one of my problems so far.

    Another one is with my OE.  It has been acting funny the past two weeks.  I was able to receive my mail, but alot of time with errors.  Saying that I was getting disconnected.  I try to connect the internet while I'm on the OE, but still fails to receive or send mail.  I tried sending a message last night and I did see the Synametic (sp?) box on the lower right side of my screen pop up stating that it was scanning the messaged, but then an error came up saying internet got disconnected.  So something is causing it to disconnect everytime I get on OE.
