Sounds familiar Bryan. Try these possibilities in order.
- Repair Internet Explorer: Select START\RUN, type MSINFO32 in the 'Open'
box and press enter. From the 'TOOLS' menu select 'Internet Explorer Repair Tool'.
Then from the next menu select the repair option.
- Enter the following command from the START\RUN box and press 'ENTER'. You will
be prompted if the command was successful.
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
- If the repair and registering the dll doesn't resolve the problem, run this Microsoft
MCREPAIR patch.
The patch will install older versions of files that are compatible with Win98. Answer
YES when prompted to replace the files.

Referring to the MCREPAIR, this problem/error is caused by an incompatible version
of a dll that was installed on the system, such as Oleaut32.dll, Olepro32.dll, Asycfilt.dll,
Stdole2.tlb. For example, version 3.50 of Oleaut32.dll is installed and used only
by Windows XP and so causes this problem/error, if it is installed on a machine running
any other operating system. Usually installing new software, or even Windows updates
seem to cause it. The problem wasn't around until the introduction of WinXP that
I know of.

When you see applications that are 9x/ME/2000/XP compatible, I would think that's
where they come from. Software is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your
gonna get! (Forest Gump)
