Script Error

[John]

I get the following error message when attempting to
use "Help" to get an older program to work with Windows
XP:

Heading: Internet Explorer Script Error

An error has occurred in the script on this page:

Line 32
Char: 1
Error: Automation server can't create object
Code: 0
URL:hcp//system/compatctr/compatmode.htm
_______________________________________

the error message asks if I want to continue running
scripts on this page and no matter if I answer "Yes"
or "No" I can not continue. The buttons at the bottom
that normally say "Back", "Next" etc. are blank.
I would appreciate any help you could provide.

I get the following error message when attempting to

Line 32
Char: 1
Error: Automation server can't create object

That is probably this line:

var g_util = new ActiveXObject("CompatUI.Util");


I can reproduce your symptom by disallowing ActiveX controls
in scripting. E.g. use Security settings to set that to Prompt
and then disallow it when the prompt comes up.

What's odd I think is that this is happening in the Internet zone.
I would have expected to be in the Intranet zone.
Perhaps you could try adding it to Trusted sites
if you don't want to use prompts in the Internet zone normally.
