Microsoft IE 6.0 constantly hangs up and once the
application gets unresponsive it yields this error message.

Error: The program cannot be closed. If it is being
debugged, please resume it or close the debugger first.

that may be part of the problem, seems to only manifest itself in XP for me
on IE6, and has been a real pain in the ass to track down. also, I think
these bugs are all related:

plus I have recreted teh situation on my own XP client tests... if you want
my test file, I'll send it to you. I really need this fixed for some
installs that i have that use the browser as a deployment method in an
application that has over 20k lines of js in it, so you can understand how
important it is for me to find/share as much information about this bug as
possible...

Common script errors messages can be eliminated by Clicking:
Menu: Tools - Internet Options - Advanced tab.
Check "Disable script debugging"
Uncheck "Display a notification about every script error"
--

You may just try this while the script debugging is off.
If it stops your error then you may have to look at your code.

Just in case you need it.
Microsoft's Scripting download
Get the latest. Two download versions are available for Windows Script 5.6.
The first version requires Windows 2000; the second version requires
Microsoft Windows 98, Millenium Edition (Me), or NT 4.0. Please choose the
download appropriate for your operating system.
