Run time errors

[Nate Weldon]

I am getting run time errors when loading just about any
web page. The specific error is:
A run time error has occurred.
Do you wish to debug?

Line: Random line numbers.
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method.

The line numbers are random, even for the same page. If I
refresh a page I get the error on, it will give me a
different line number in the error message every time.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm running guard IE as my
popup blocker, and spybot S&D for spyware. Have been using
these for months with no problems. The last patch I
updated was the latest patch for media player, about 4
days ago.

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

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

5a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser

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