"Server Busy" Message
Can anyone advise me how to prevent this message popping up when I attempt to open various programs:- "Server Busy - This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch To" to activate the busy program and correct the problem" It then offers me a choice of SwitchTo" and "Retry". When I click on "Switch To" my Start Menu pops up temporarily before the message disappears. I am not running any "other program" and would like to know what I can do to prevent this message appearing. Many thanks.

Do you have anything like ZoneAlarm?

Try going to Control Panel>>Internet Options>>Advanced tab

Look down the list under Security and uncheck the "warn if changing from secure to non secure mode"

Hello - If I click on Control Panel / Internet Options / Security, my only options are: "Select a zone to view or change settings", and "Security level for this zone" (This is set at medium-high) I do not have the choice to "warn if changing from secure to non-secure mode". I do not have Zone Alarm, but have AVG and Malwarebytes Anti-virus installed, if these are similar? I am running XP Professional.

Sorry - misread your last message, and have now gone to Contol Panel/Internet Options/Advanced/Security, but the item you mentioned was already unchecked.
