You should contact your host to ask them to deal with it.

I have the same problem but mine the first time i put the code "php_flag register_globals off" before it was ok, when i delete that on my .htaccess for some reason and put it again, that error appeared again even when i added this code " php_flag register_globals off " on .htaccess.Open your .htaccess or if you don't have one rename the htaccess.txt into .htaccess and edit the file and add this code " php_flag register_globals off " at the bottom.

Just make a htaccess or php.ini file with this in

register_globals = off

That should work
