Hi Guys,

I hope someone can help me... I have some software hat converts a DVD to an
AVI file for veiwing on a mobile phone... recently when i start it up and it
sees the DVD an error message comes up saying:

"Runtime Error '-2147417848 (80010108)': Automation Error The object
has been disconnected from its clients. "

What is this and how can I get rid of it?

To disable the SP2 warning for running activeX on a local computer page, go to : IE, Tools menu, Options, Advanced Tab, -- scroll
down to the Security area, check the box for, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"

Cheers Mark,

I've ticked the boxes and restarted the comp. But the message keeps coming
up. I've reinstalled the software as well but it's still no good. The
software closes after the warning message comes up... it was working before
but all of a sudden it's started doing this. I've run Spybot and Adaware
just in case too. Any other ideas?

Thanx
Rob.

'automation objects' are activeX or "COM+". I would think it was something in the security settings somewhere. Maybe it uses the
browser online somehow. IE, tools, options, security tab, set to 'Low"

I've set it the security to low now... still no joy (
I've reinstalled several times now but it won't stop doing it. It was
working fine for a few months before this started. Could it be something
else I installed?

Thanks for your help
Cheers
Rob.

If the DVD works normally, it has to be something in the installed app. Hard to guess what.
