URGENT!!! HELP!!! error message - can't open programs

[Guest]

When I go to open internet explorer, instant messanger, outlook and some other programs I will get an error message and it will kick me out of the program. It shows that I'm connected to the internet so I don't think this is the problem. What could it be?

What is the exact text of the error message ?
