I'm getting a weird error message pop-up stating:
Error: Invalid argument passed to wv_timeout() function - Arg0 is missing
'=' sign : [object Object]

Can anyone tell me how to correct this?

Thank you in advance!

Okay, I'll try again -

Quote from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375

"Your question does not contain all the required information needed for us
to help you.
Please re-write your question, this time make sure you have all the needed
info and we'll try to help."

Good examples of questions will include information from most of the
following categories:

- What are you trying to do?
- Why are you trying to do it?
- What did you try already, why, and what was the result of your actions?
- What was the exact error message that you received?
- How long have you been experiencing this problem?
- Have you searched the relevant forum/newsgroup archives?
- Have you searched for any tools or KB articles or any other resources?
- Have you recently installed or uninstalled any software or hardware?
- What changes were made to the system between the time everything last
worked and when you noticed the problem?

Don't let us assume, tell us right at the beginning.

Some technical information we need to have (naturally, hardware or
network-specific questions need their topic-specific information):

- What Operating System and Service Pack level are you using?
- What Exchange version and Service Pack level are you using?
- Tell us about your Active Directory domain environment, or if on a SOHO
network, then information about your workgroup settings.
- Tell us about your name resolution topology (DNS, WINS etc.)
- If applicable, what does the LAN/WAN topology look like? Include
TCP/IP-relevant information.
- Migration scenarios - add in your exact details.
- What does the Event Log say?
- Do you have current backups? Why not?
- What does the backup log say?
- Are you using Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware/Adware tool?
- Have you checked for virus infection?
- Is there a Firewall on the host or on the network?
- Do you have sufficient free disk space? Check again.
- Any other information you think we might need in order to help you." End

Please provide all the necessary information and if relevant to the Windows
Update NG start a new posting with your question or in the alternative, post
to a more appropriae newsgroup.


Thank you.

parismom: I found a very helpful person outside of this forum who answered
the question for me. According to them, the issue is on the website being
visited and not with your computer. In my case, this was with a few shopping
websites like Bluefly.com. Hope that helps. Apparently, if you don't have a
serious computer background and use layman's terms it's a big deal.

Thank you in advance!
