Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

[Wendy]

When attempting to access a website (on new XP SP1, IE6
SP1), I use my user name and password for the site, it
clears me thru, then it comes up with Internet Explorer
error in Line: 261, Char: 3, Error: Object doesn't
support this property or method, Code: 0 with the URL
listed. This exact site can be accessed on any other
computer we have. I've downloaded from www.java.com,
I've tried to repair IE, I've checked all the security
levels, moved them to low, and ensured java viewing and
cookies were enabled. Is there any help for this?

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.

Your suggestion was great, but it didn't get the job
done. I'm running out of ideas and don't know where to
turn. Any help? Thank you immensely!! Wendy

1a. Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

1b. Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

(WinXP users who have problems with 2a and 2b, see
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers_9.htm)

2. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

3a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

3b. Find the hijacker that caused 4a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):
