Since installing Win XP Pro to replace Win XP Home and
then applying all the Win XP and IE upgrades and patches
I've been getting what appears to be a JavaScript
error "delkpuwin is null or not an object." Ignoring it
doesn't seem to cause anything bad to happen, but it is
starting to get annoying. I can't find anything about it
in the Knowledge Base and I haven't been able to figure
out how to submit a questions to Microsoft Tech Support.
When I go through the process of submitting a question IE
never appears in list of products.

If there's anything anyone knows about fixing the cause of
the JavaScript error, or how to submit a question about IE
to Mirosoft Tech Support I be very grateful.

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

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

or

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

2a. Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

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

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

5a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

5b. Find the hijacker that caused 5a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):

Thanks for the help, the problems seems to have stopped
for now. I tried everything you suggested, so I'm not
sure what fixed the problem, although the box to display a
notification about every script error wasn't checked, so
that wasn't it. Also, when I unchecked the box next to
Enable third-party browser extensions, the Google Toolbar
stopped working, so I had to recheck that box.
