Possible Issue with either XP or IE 7.0 on secondary users account

[tonyc39]

I am running XP home edition with SP2.

I.E. details:

V = 7.0.5730.13
Cipher = 128-bit
Product id = 92318-600-0011903-00102
Update Versions = 0

This is a family box with 5 users defined. Myself (admin users) and the wife
and kids (4 secondary users). Mcafee running on the box.

About a month ago or so, all the secondary users started to experience
errors with their sessions when using I.E. It started with the secondary
users getting the following pop up errors: Internet Explorer Script Error. An
error has occurred in the script on this page. After closing all the pop ups
there are certain URL's that will display OK and certain that will not.

I've gone through the settings changes for I.E. recommended for the script
errors and it does not fix the problem. I.E 7 has been running fine for a
while. I believe I updated when it went GA

I defined a new secondary user and it has the same symptoms as the other
secondary users. I changed that new user as an adin account to XP and it
still does not resolve the issue.

I unistalled and reinstalled McAfee (removed the registry entries for Mcafee
as well) as well as I thought the problem came after I reneweed my
subscription but the symptoms are there with and without Mcafee.

The only user that does not incurr any of the errors is the admin user which
is me.

That is why I don't know if my problem is XP or IE.

Any help in trouble shooting or resolution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try internet options,advanced,press the "restore to default" or "restore to
advanced settings" button,this will shut off script debugging & debugging
(other),
also,if you havent,or do so again,install the last IE7 acumalitive update.

Go to Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, Advanced and check the two
boxes before Disable Script Debugging in the Browser section.

You may need to do this whilst logged on as each user.

Have you tried using cCleaner to clean up your disk?

An alternative is cCleaner (freeware) which does a more thorough job
than Disk CleanUp. Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user profile,
wheras cCleaner only needs to be run once
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp
http://www.ccleaner.com/

With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. To be safe you
should create a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also
offers backup before removal.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has
irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so
that they can easily be re-entered.

Leave the Scan for Issues option alone.

You still need to remove System Restore points via the More Options tab
in Disk CleanUp.

Hello Andrew,

I applied the last accumalitve patch to I.E. and restored the the settings
but the problem still persists.

let me know if you have other ideas.

Thanks.

Hi Gerry,

The two boxes were already checked in the advanced tab in I.E. for all the
users.

Although I use a different cleaner (Advanced Registry Optimizer), i
downloaded CCLeaner and used it on all the users and it did clean up plenty
of stuff. Funny, the ARO product on works on the admin ID. On the other users
it tells me all the objects that were flagged by the scan but when I go to
initiate the fix script, I get hit with the
Script errors and it never does run.

I also took Andrews advice and loaded the latest accumalative patch for IE
but the problem with the IE script errors and it not loading some URLs
correctly still persists.

Any further advice would be most welcome.

Thanks.

Advanced Registry Optimizer is a Registry Cleaner and as such is
category of software which is not recommended. Whilst cCleaner also has
a registry cleaner component it does not have to be used as you need to
select Scan for Issues to start the registry cleaner process.

Once you have used a registry cleaner there is no way to know whether it
has damaged the registry.

You are not getting an answer to your problem in this newsgroup. You
might do better by asking in

Gerry,

That link was excellent. I'll definately reomve the ARO product.

One more question for you, do you know of a way to recover a date that has
been deleted from system restore funtion? looks like somehow (I probably
manually deleted it) that my oldest system restore date all ready had the
problem on it.

I'll post my problem with I.E. on the I.E. section.

Thanks for all the 411!

Regards,

When a system restore point is removed it is gone for ever.
