Thanks in advance for replying.

I want to put this short and simple.

In IE 7:

Click on something - error.
Click on something - error.
Mouse over something - error.
View picture - error.
Reply - error.
(Everything is a trigger for an error)

No viruses found.
No spyware, adware or malware found.
(Windows Defender and AVG Free do not detect viruses or spyware)

Expected: ')'
(One of the errors)

Running Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Windows Internet Explorer 7
256 MB of RAM
(My system specifications)

Anyone know what the problem?

Besides the fact that IE7 sucks royally, you probably have an add on
like a Yahoo or Google bar that IE7 doesn't care for. Try right clicking
on the IE7 icon on the desktop and opening it "without add ons". If it
works fine, start removing add ons until you find which one isn't
compatible with IE7.

You might also want to up your RAM to at least 512, preferably 1 GB.

Thank You Nass!

Internet Explorer (the totally DUMBFOWL internet explorer) is now working
perfectly normal.

I have stopped receiving errors since I read the reply. Searching 'Google'
doesn't produce errors everytime I visit their page anymore.

P.S How do you produce pictures on your Display Name? Just curious to know -
no need to answer.

Grin... Yeah, when you go to a service call at a persons house and they
cant navigate, you often find 8 toolbars installed in IE :)

All toolbars come with great promises but all turn out to be BS. The only
one I use is AI Roboform and I pretty much can't do without it. I use FF
though.

And you patiently explain why they should be removed and you remove
them. You come back one week later and they've put them all back.

I know. Yahoo!'s IE add-ons where abosulte BS aswell. I clogged up IE, and it
did nothing. Too bad that Yahoo! installs s***ware onto my computer when they
release an update for Yahoo! Messenger.

Nowadays, you should *always* use the custom install to make sure that
you don't install more than you bargained for.

Super Grin. Yeah, you fix the problem. Then the customer recreates the
problem and calls you back saying you didn't fix the problem :)
