mainAutomation server can't create object (IE popup)

[whitemagic]

Starting today whenever I open IE or view a new page,
etc., I get a popup which states "mainAutomation server
can't create object". It is very annoying. I am able
to view all IE pages after I close the popup. Is there a
fix for this? I have no viruses or trojans on my pc. I
do lots of surfing and my hand is wearing out from having
to close this popup over and over again.
Thank you!

mainAutomation in a function in one of the programs needed to run Explorer
and Or IExplorer.

What is running at start up?

Run MSCONFIG from the start/run applet.

If you find anything unusual (leave Explorer and systray alone) then check
