XP ie 6 script errors on some pages

[Bruce]

when logging on to some sites i get
"an error has occured in the script on this page
line: 2
char: 7
error: invalid character
i get the error even when script debugging is off
and "display all script errors" is off.
i have tried the 'register urlmon.dll' with no effect
i am running service pack 1 (XP)
it seem to happen on sites that have POP-UPS along with
the main page.
thanks for any help

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/scriptdb.htm

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Check the box to Disable script debugging.
Uncheck the box to Display a notification about every script error.

You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP

Sometimes there's a corrupt file in the cache and one must go to Tools |
Internet Options and click Delete Files.

Turn off any popup stoppers. Also make sure your anti-virus and firewall do
not have an option checked to block popups or scripts.
