Need Help – SQL error & IE issue

I’m using the WordPress Default theme v1.6 by Michael Heilemann and Sidebar Widgets instead of the default sidebar.php

I don’t know what to look for though because I am not a developer or coder, just a user, and even if I knew what to look for I wouldn’t know what to do to rectify it.

Can you offer me some guidance?

Well with me using sidebar widgets I cannot get to the widget code inside my admin dashboard. I went to my site and did “view source” and this is what I get:

<li id="archives" class="widget widget_archives">                       <h2
class="widgettitle">Archives</h2>

                       <ul>
                               <li><a
href='http://justlikehomeafc.com/?m=200703' title='March 2007'>March
2007</a></li>
                       </ul>
               </li>
<div id='error'>
                       <p class='wpdberror'><strong>WordPress database

'^([adObis]):/' at line 1]

                       <code>SELECT *  , IF (DATE_ADD(link_updated, INTERVAL
120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated   FROM wp_links  LEFT JOIN
wp_link2cat ON (wp_links.link_id = wp_link2cat.link_id)  WHERE 1=1 AND
link_visible = 'Y' /^([adObis]):/?_id = 6 )   ORDER BY link_name
ASC</code>

                       </div><li id="linkcat-2" class="linkcat"><h2
class="widgettitle">Resource Links</h2>

I would post you the actual sidebar.php code but as I am not using the default sidebar.php, do you still need it?
