    what are you doing when you get this error message? is it only when your running a certain program or maybe after your computer has been on for a while. I would try to get rid of this error message by doing MSCONFIG and taking everything except for scanregistry and system tray and see if that helps...

    Hi Bob,

    You don't describe what you are doing when Internet Explorer throws this error. If you have Office 2000 installed and if your internet time has been spent at MSN MoneyCentral, then this article from the Microsoft Knowledge Base may be helpful. If not, then please post back with what you are doing when the error occurs, along with your version of IE.

    HTH,

    Kay

    Hi Bob,

    I was unable to find an answer at ea.com's support site, located here, but they do have some options for you to consider, unless you've been there, done that. One is an online chat support session which you can access from the page I linked you to, and the other is to click the Go button for Online Games to enter their troubleshooter. A popup window will appear, and in a row across the top of that window you will see some additional methods of support, such as tech support, contacting EA, and forums. One of these may be able to solve your problem.

    I searched for your error message on the internet, and found a few additional cases which don't involve online gaming. The most common solution offered is to replace your oleaut32.dll file, the theory being that it is possibly an older version than what is needed or corrupted. Since EA didn't mention this error in their FAQs, I don't know which version of the file is their minimum acceptable version. You will want to see at least v. 2.40.4277.1--the version which ships with IE 5.01 and 5.5. To check your version, go to Start | Find | Files or Folders. Enter oleaut32.dll in the field and OK the run. When your file is found in C:\Windows\System, right-click that, choose Properties from the context menu, then look at the version tab. If you have a lesser version, then you would want to consider installing one of the versions of IE which does contain this version of the file. You don't mention the version of IE you are currently running, but post back if you would like to know where you can upgrade, if needed. IE 5.5 is easier to manage the upgrade to, since they want everyone to run that one now, but I think you can still get IE 5.01 by trying to install one of the service packs for it. In addition, if you already run IE 5.01 or better, you can attempt to have IE repair itself by going to My Computer | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, and choose to remove Internet Explorer and Tools. You will get a window giving you the choice to attempt to repair IE. Take that choice and see what you are told.

    HTH,

    Kay
