I keep getting a DDEserver window iexplore.exe application error window. I run registry mechanic and other programs like it and I have a good anti-virus program and firewall, etc. but I can't seem to stop this window from popping up all the time. I am in the dark about the techs of using a computer. The lingo is like greek to me. Is there some program that I can download to really fix these error windows? If not, what can I do to remedy the situation? Thank you. I am in my 60's and rather new to the computer. It is a windows XP.

just in case you dont know HijackThis is a program. just try to follow this guide as closely as possible, all of it might not apply to you so dont worry if you have to skip a step.

Hi Glen, I want to thank you for the info. It says to use extreme caution when running hijack and should know what programs are good and what are bad. I have no idea what I should get rid of. As I said in my request for help, I know very little about the workings of a computer. I guess for the time being, I'll put up with the windows popping up. Maybe I can find someone in my
neck of the woods and have them teach me about computers. Thanks again and I'll hold on to your information.
