CAUSE
This problem can be caused by any of the following situations:


 * One or more dynamic link libraries (DLLs) are located on the desktop.
 * Internet Explorer's internal Java Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is enabled, and the Web page you are loading contains a Java program that is incompatible with the compiler.
 * Internet Explorer is configured to automatically use items that show active content, and the Web page you are loading contains active content that is not functioning properly.
 * The third-party display driver you are using is damaged or incompatible with Windows.
 * You are using Active Server Pages (ASP) to perform an ODBC query on a database on an Internet Information Server (IIS), or you are running a large ASP file while Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) security is enabled.
 * There is an Advert.dll file on the system.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use the appropriate method:

 Configure Windows so that DLLs are not hidden, and then rename or move any DLLs located on the desktop. To configure Windows so that DLLs are not hidden, follow these steps:

 Double-click My Computer. On the View menu, click Options, and then click the View tab. Click to select Show All Files, and then click OK.

To rename a file on the desktop, use the right mouse button to click the file, click Rename on the menu that appears, type the new name for the file, and then press ENTER. To move a file on the desktop, drag the file from the desktop to a folder on your hard disk in My Computer or Windows Explorer. Disable Internet Explorer's internal Java JIT compiler. To do so, click Options on the View menu in Internet Explorer, click the Advanced tab, and then click the Enable Java JIT Compiler check box in the Active Content area to clear it. Configure Internet Explorer so that it does not automatically use items that show active content, such as vertical marquees or animations. To do so, click Options on the View menu in Internet Explorer, click the Security tab, and then click the Enable ActiveX Controls And Plug-Ins check box in the Active Content area to clear it. Configure Windows to use the Standard Display Adapter (VGA) or Super VGA display adapter type. To do so, follow these steps:

 In Control Panel, double-click Display.</li> Click the Settings tab, and then click Change Display Type.</li> In the Adapter Type area, click Change, and then click Show All Devices.</li> Click (Standard Display Types) in the Manufacturers box, click Standard Display Adapter (VGA) or Super VGA in the Models box, and then click OK.</li></ol>

If the problem does not occur after performing these steps, the third-party display driver you are using may be damaged or incompatible with Windows. If the display driver is damaged, you may be able to work around the problem by reinstalling the driver from the disk provided by the hardware manufacturer. If the problem continues to occur after reinstalling the driver, contact the driver's manufacturer to inquire about protected-mode drivers for your display adapter for use with Windows.</li> Change the value of the BufferingOn value to "1" in the following registry key:</li> Locate all copies of the Advert.dll file and then rename or delete them.</li></ul>
