Default Run time error when accessing Internet using VBA

Hi,

Please refer to the following code. This code works fine on my office machine,
but does not work on my laptop and home machine. All three machines have
Excel 2003, SP3, and MS XP.

When I run the code on my laptop, the macro stops at the line : BUSY and the
following error message is displayed.

Runtime error -2147023170, Automation error, The remote procedure call failed.


My guess is that the error has something to do with the way I have defined
the IE object.
I tried changing the Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer declaration to
Dim IE as Object and Dim IE as InternetExplorer, but the error did not go
away.


Code:
  
 Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer   '***
 Dim URL As String
 Dim Ext As String
 Dim ocell As Range
 Dim file_loc As String
 Dim ResultDIV As HTMLDivElement, AllResultsDIV As HTMLDivElement,
OneResultDIV As HTMLDivElement
 Dim message As String
  Dim htmlDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
 Dim htmlInput As MSHTML.HTMLInputElement
 Dim htmlColl As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection
 Dim counter As Integer
 Dim DLd As Boolean
 
 file_loc = "C:\newfolder\"
 
    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    With IE
    .Visible = 1
    .Navigate "http://www.fxstreet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2910"
      
        
    Do While .Busy: DoEvents: Loop   ' runtime error occurs here or on the
next line
    Do While .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Loop

   ...
Thanks,

MG
