Internet explorer Script Error

[Play_The_0dds]

with all the fixes that is listed above, if none work it comes down to a few options left if you still have problems.
on-line virus scan.

spyware scan.
http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10...ml?legacy=cnet
make sure to updatethe program before you run it.
reinstall internet explorer...check any cd disk you might have, ie is on alot of disk that comes with software and hardware. if not download a copy.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp
may want to try a different web browser.

and if you are on 95,98, or me and have a windows installation disk you could try reinstalling it over it's self as a repair. as long as you dont format you wont lose your files, drivers, or programs.

When I try to turn my scheduled scan on in McAfee I get an IE Script error that says "An error has occurred in the script on this page. The data area passed to a system call is too small." It then gives a URL that points to a McAfee DLL file. If I hit yes or no it doesn't go away. I have already gone to the internet options and checked "disable script debugging" and unchecked "display notification about every script error".
Any suggestions? Appreciate it.

I have the exact same issue. I have win2k and IE6 and it seems to have started after a recent crital update. I've triple checked the advanced setting and disables Nortons, but I get the same script error notifications on half of the sites I visit.

Please help, this is very annoying.

found this on the net: Hey I don't know if you guys already know the answer to this or not, but incase you don't this WILL fix it.

1. to your RUN window from the start menu, type in "regsvr32 msscript.ocx" and hit enter
2. do the same with dispex.dll, and vbscript.dll
3. open windows explorer, select folder options in the tools drop down.
4. select the file types tab
5. scroll down to the extension type JS, highlight it and hit the advanced button
6. highlight the Open command and hit the edit button. If you have more than one "Open" command showing (which was part of my problem)delete one of them.
7. In the field "application used to perform action" paste in this - C:\WINNT\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %* your done.

That was very thoughtful posting the fix in this old thread. I'm sure it will be very helpful. We see so many unresolved problems and little feedback as to what worked.

You could try getting Mozilla's Firefox: (mainly because java works so nicely with this browser and java scripts are on many,many sites these days)

goads,

I use Opera, but don't go there there unless you want loads of other problems, I like it though - it works the way I want it, so am wary about any upgrades.

Any upgrades to a system can cause problems, I have a friend with with a PC that is over 5yrs old on Win98 and never has problems because he does not update anything - perhaps we're all to update conscious in thinking we might miss out on something!

I switched to Firefox but still get the message even when I have nothing running. If I just boot up the computer and let it sit for a few minutes, eventually one of those pops up. I have the latest versions of Spybot and Adaware, so I'm not sure where else to look. Yes, I have checked the debugging script settings in IE as well.

Try using IEradicator to clean IE then download IE6.0:

I have a similar problem I need help with. I'm running XP w/serv pack 2. When I boot up is when I receive this error.

Internet Explorer Script Error
Line: 20
Character: 1
Error: object doens't supprot property or method
Code: 0
URL: google.com/webhp?sourceid=ggviewer

please help, i tried the tools, adv. tab, and following what was supposed to be checked off. It was already correct. Thanks

But, the Google Toolbar installer also disables that Scripting Error dialog box (“A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?”).

Andy, I think you hit on something. Now that I come to think about it. My script error on boot up started after an update as well. Someone help us... Thanks, Paul

by the way, I'm not using internet explorer when this happens, I'm using sbc dsl. Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

I have the exact same problem, I am not even running IE and it gives me this script error. It's getting pretty annoying. I am running SBC DSL.
