Exception caught while loading clients.xml: [object Error] in IE

Question

I’m following lesson 9 from Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Classroom in a Book which starts with viewing in a browser the
final web page provided on the CD that comes with the book.
The problem is that when I browse that file, IE 7 gives this
error:
quote:
Exception caught while loading clients.xml: [object Error]
Other browsers and versions of IE display the
page fine.
From Dreamweaver I ran Browser Compatibility check and it
reported this:
quote:
Found 1 errors in external css files
Affects: Firefox 1.5; Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0; Netscape
8.0; Opera 8.0, 9.0
Found 2 errors in external css files
Affects: Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2
Found 3 errors in external css files
Affects: Safari 2.0
All errors point to this code from the same
line:
href="css/main.css
and the whole line is:
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
media="screen" />
I also ran validation of the file and it reported this:
quote:
2 The tag: "html" doesn't have an attribute: "xmlns:spry" in
currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0 transitional]
114 The tag: "div" doesn't have an attribute: "spry:region"

129 The tag: "div" doesn't have an attribute: "tabindex" in
currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0 transitional]
134 The tag: "div" doesn't have an attribute:

transitional]
143 The tag: "div" doesn't have an attribute:
"spry:detailregion" in currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0
transitional]
The problem is that I don’t know what to do next and if
and how this file can be fixed.
Will appreciate greatly your help
Thank you

Another bump
hoping the experts here might help if they check the files, I
uploaded the project on a public site. You can download it from
here:
http://savefile.com/files/1452147
at he bottom of the page click Download and on the next page
at the bottom click Download file now
These are the troubleshooting steps and solutions I
attempted.
After I ran check Browser Compatibility it showed problems
located in main.css file
I opened main.css and ran Browser Compatibility there too.
The problems were listed as the following:
Error Unsupported property: content
Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0; Internet Explorer for Macintosh
5.2
line 75 .clearfix:after { content: "."; display: block;
height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; }
Error Unsupported property: zoom
Firefox 1.5; Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2; Netscape
8.0; Opera 8.0, 9.0; Safari 2.0
line 82 .clearfix { zoom: 1; }
Error Unsupported value: 'hand'
Safari 2.0
line 150 .hoverRow, .selectRow{ background-color: #FFFF00;
cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; }
also lines 157
Warning Unsupported value: 'hand'
Firefox 1.5; Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0; Internet Explorer
for Macintosh 5.2; Netscape 8.0
line 150 .hoverRow, .selectRow{ background-color: #FFFF00;
cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; }
also lines 157
I deleted unsupported properties and changed the unsupported
value of hand to default and saved the main.css.
Unfortunately IE still couldn't render the page showing the
same error.
I searched the CSS Advisor web site and even entire Google
but except a few people reporting the same error no solution was
posted.
I also tied to contact the publisher of the book but I didn't
get any replies with solutions yet.
Since this is a learning project I'm trying to prepare myself
for real live scenarios and wonder what experienced users would do
when facing a similar problem if the project was for a client. What
would you do. What is an acceptable practice? If you can't find a
solution what would you say to your clients "well IE 7 can't render
certain things from your page and there is nothing I can do about
it"?
I'll appreciate any input
