Nethood error viewing network

[itchy]

I have just reinstalled win ME and all my othe applications the last thing i did was to setup the small home network using the XP cd i did the exect same procedures on my old pc to conect to a Win 98 pc and Win XP pc wit no problems but when i trie to view my network places on the desktop i get a script error :

An Error Has Occured On The Script On This Page
Line: 206
Char: 21
Error: Unspecified Error
Code: 0
URL: file://Win-ME\Web\nethood.htt

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Weather i choose yes or no i cant see any of my network conections ,But if i look in Win-Me/nethood i see the other pc's and they have no problem viewing my pc.I tried rerunning the network setup wizard and get the same error.And i have disabled
Script debugging in the Tools /Internet options/advanced setings and i still get the same error .Is there any way to uninstall network conection and reinstall it ?Thanks

I would completely reinstall the network (on that PC). When I've seen that issue in the past, I yank the TCP/IP, any form of NetBIOS, the FilePrint Sharing, etc. and then completely reinstall it. It may have bad telnet settings.
Reinstall the Network Neighborhood and then try it again. Try viewing your networked PCs before you install the XP Home Networking disk though. I've had nothing but issues with that thing....
Good luck.

could it be an error with internet explorer should i try uninstall that because i don't think the \my pictures folder has anything to do with the network settings dose it?. thanks

Alright, I'm going to have you try something for the nethood issue. I'm still looking into the internal issues with the scripting errors......try extracting the nethood.htt file.

Go to Start, click Run, type regsvr32 webvw.dll, and then click OK. If the command is successful, you receive a "DllRegisterServer in webvw.dll succeeded." message.


We'll see if that fixes the network neighborhood issue. Good luck.

You can uninstall IE from WinME but not from XP. Here's Microsofts page on it:

I had the same error. I tracked it down to having lost "My Documents" after uninstalling Internet Explorer.

Go to Start, click Run, type regsvr32 mydocs.dll, and then click OK. If the command is successful, you receive a "DllRegisterServer in webvw.dll succeeded." message.

Now browse "My Network Places". Browse "My Pictures". They should be back to normal.
