Can anyone help get rid of this dialog box?
It reads" Server Busy. This ACTION can not be completed because the other program is busy. Choose switch to to activate the busy program and correct the problem.
Switch to Retry Cancel"
The only way I've been able to close the box is to log off of windows and log on again. I ues windows Xp.thanks At least two possible causes have been identified (and they may be related): lack of sufficient resources and a possible trojan/spyware.

Your system is trying to start up another process and doesn't have the resources to run it and your current process both.

One solution happened to be updating your OS.

Another solved by running a good spyware/malware/virus scanner and removing anything potentially malicious.

Hope this helps!

DellThanks for your reply. I haven't solve the problem yet but I'll try the spyware scanner. thanks
Dell,
How do you update an OS? I use Windows XP.
Also, I've run AVG anti virus and several adware programs and NOTHING has turned up yet to correct the problem. Still trying.The easiest way to update your OS is to use your update capability built in to your OS.

For Win XP, click on the Start>Windows Update
It will start your default browser and take you to the MICROSOFT Update Page. FOLLOW the prompts and download/install all the critical updates recommended. Other updates and drivers can be downloaded and installed as you choose. Make sure you do this for all drivers recommended.

If you have any difficulty or trouble understanding the process, let us know.

As far as scanning for malware/virus/adware - this is very important you do this (and regularly afterwards). It is an easy process and you WOULD be surprised how much crap can be loaded on your system.

BTW - make sure your OS is a legal/authenticated issue. If it is not, you will have problems with the update. If you have a Win XP Authentication sticker pasted to your PC, you are probably okay.

DellI did update the os after you recommended. And I've run
several adware programs but nothing seems to get rid of this error message. I'm a computer illiterate but I seem to think that it is embedded somehow or it reinfects after going online again. I won't give up .thanks for your help.
