When using IE as the browser and viewing a couple of specific websites after a few minutes I get the following: Ddhelp An error has occurred in your program. Click ignorte to continue or cancel to close. Clicking either closes the page and IE and brings me back to the desktop with the notice "Ddhelp has caused an error in GDI.exe. If you continue to experience problems try restarting your computer". When using Netscape as the browser on the same site.....no problems. ??????? Thanks fgor the help.

The Kid...The site U refered me to is a fix for MSN. I do not and have never used MSN. It does not apply.

Forgot to mention in previous post that I went ahead and installed newer version of Shockwave Player as indicated in the Microsoft fix for MSN, and it did not solve the problem.

Try updating your Video drivers. "DDHelp.exe is DirectDraw's "helper" bootstrap. Its purpose is to make first contact with the video driver, assess its DirectDraw capabilities, and send the driver into DirectDraw compatibility mode. This is very simplistic. However, when a user has display issues in a game or a game doesn't launch, it may be because the game can't get the video driver to switch to the proper resolution to run it. This will sometimes manifest itself as an error in the file DDHelp. Another one of DDHelp's functions is to perform the resolution switching chores for DirectDraw and Direct3D."
