debug I.E. using xp sp2

[James]

I am beta testing the new xp sp2 for window xp.
While testing sp2, I am seeing a debug error on certain
webpages.
The debug message is,
Line: 2
Character 1
Error: Invalid Character
Code: 0
URL: http://________________

I was told by a MS associate to contact the webmaster or
administrator. I am having problems locating those
hyperlinks so I can send messages to those person(s).

I (rarely) visit this site. Will the replies be sent to
my personal e-mail so I may reply in that manner?
My e-mail is, (e-mail address removed)
Much appreciated.
