I've seen many answers on this board abt server problems
but none seem to fit this problem and I'm wary having
trying to fix something similar only to "break" something
else. So here goes:

Events: recently downloaded and using, Ad-aware, Spybot
and Spyblaster. After use suddenly IE 6 is popping up
msg "mainAutomation server cant create object" each time I
get a new window. I can click okay and then page
downloads perfectly. Not a big deal but very annoying and
obviously a problem. Any ideas as to a fix? Should I
redownload IE 6? Maybe it's just a file missing? Would
getting rid of the spyware programs help?

Had the same problem. Turns out it was browser OVERLOAD! Cleaned out cookies and objects in IE - the ones left by Java, Macromedia, Activex, and others. Problem went away RIGHT NOW! I think I'll let the third parties cool off a little while!
