Error -2147417843

Hi there VB Gurus,

Anyone there who could provide more info on this
error:
Error -2147417843: An outgoing call cannot be made
since the application is dispatching an input-synchronous
call.
I was able to dig some info but it seems vague:
You might want to look at this url:

support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q190/5/23.asp

Basically I just need to know what might be causing this error
Is it that two application might be making a
request at the same time , like an application
is requesting something from the active-x and at the
same time , an application is trying to terminate the
active -x ?

Would appreciate your help.
