In addition to Tufenuf's good information, please try installing the most recent Script engine from Microsoft. In some cases, it cures the script error:

Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP

Hope this helps.

If "Disable Script Debugging" box in the Advance Tab of Internet Explorer Properties is checked you will get this error message every time you visit a page with script errors.

You're tell us what the basic anomaly is but provide very little information otherwise to zero in on anything specifically.

Please note that just above the text editor (where you enter a question on the forum) is the following paragraph, and if certain information is not present in your question, our reply may not be very helpful:

Tip: If you are asking for help to troubleshoot a computer-related problem, please be sure to include all the necessary information (ie: operating system, model number, hardware, software, etc) that will help others identify your problem for a speedy resolution.

1. The article [Q217116] warns that an Internet Explorer Script Error may occur when accessing Windows Update if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses auto-configuration servers and discusses the potential fix.

2. The article [Q308260] states that a Web page may not display or work correctly and you may receive a Script Error because the HTML source code for the Web page does not work correctly with client-side scripts such as Microsoft JScript or Visual Basic and suggest several troubleshooting tips as well as updates to fix the issue(s).

3. The article [814458] describes the by design condition that occurs after you install the February, 2003, Cumulative Patch (MS03-004) for Internet Explorer (prevents malicious Web sites from accessing information in another Internet domain, or on your local computer) when scripts in an HTML dialog window (that is opened by using the showModalDialog or showModelessDialog method) tries to set the security domain of the document to a different value.

4. Please read the article, "How to strengthen the security settings for the Local Machine zone in Internet Explorer (Q833633)."
