Script error ?

[Frank Saunders, MS-MVP IE/OE]

Ok guys - more great info.
In my computer I have my primary drive - the C: drive we have been
discussing. I also have an second hard drive. The E: drive with Win
XP Pro SP1 (never messed it up with SP2). When I boot into this
other drive life is good. No script errors. When I Run sfc
/scannow it works beautifully. Just like it is supposed to. It
accesses the CD drive faultlessly and it can find files on my CD
drive that the other hard drive can't. Looks to me like Windows is
totally messed up in my primary C: drive. It can't find files on the
CD. Suggestions?

Since it will not access the Win CD to copy files or to repair
itself (but I can install Windows) can I reinstall Window on top of
what I have. All data is backed up externally but I DO NOT want to
have to reload, update, and reconfigure hundreds of programs.

Boot from the CD and do a repair install.

Thank you Frank. I want to take your suggestion "Boot from the CD and do a
repair install."
I inserted the CD and did a reboot but it just booted normally. Do I have
to do something in the
BIOS to make it boot from CD?

Thanks,
Ron

Yes, you have to change the BIOS so that booting from a CD is the first
choice. The first screen as the machine boots should tell you how.

This assumes that you have a "real" WinXP CD, not a recovery CD.

hi all

I have the same error and another error is :
my IE 6 SP1 (win2000 P) does't show images in 2 pages they are yahoo pages
and hotmail pages it display this pages with errores.
but I creat another account and it work fine in new accont('s).
I tryed clearing IE cach and graphic card but the error still remain.
and because of running IE well in another account on same computer I guse
that this problem is'nt from IE files.
do you have any aedia about this?
thanks

....

BTW - I installed SP2 and uninstalled it due to problems.

Thanks for disclosing this. Better late than never!
That explains why we have been fruitlessly wasting our time trying to get
an XPsp2-only feature to work for you.


....

I have no DOS skills - Run cmd opens to " C:\Documents and Settings\Ron
Patterson> "
A deadend for me.

Presumably you can read and make some simple inferences?
That is why I gave you the change directory command (aka chdir, or cd)
you would need to get to where iexplore.exe should be located:

cd %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer


....

Maybe this is the problem. For some reason my computer will not find files
on the D: drive.
Yet when I insert the drive it does open to Welcome to MS Windows etc. How
can this be?

Now, for whatever reason if I put the Win XP CD into my old Win 98 computer
it can search the CD and find all the files. So, I think the problem is
reading the XP CD in my XP computer. It obviously can not be searched for
files for some reason. Yet it opens and works fine otherwise.
How can this be?

Sounds like you have a CD drive with marginal support in XP.
Perhaps you had a special driver to give it support under XPsp1
which was replaced by generic support for XPsp2; so now you
only have generic support for XPsp1 which is not enough.
Try visiting the manufacturer's support site to see if there
is a newer driver which provides support in XPsp2.
Or, if I guessed correctly, just try reinstalling the driver support
you had with XPsp1.


....

The Method 2 procedure was so search for ie.inf and right click and click
Install.
I had the same problem with finding files on the XP CD. I don't recognize
381378 ?

Please stop making so many typos. It makes us concerned about
how carefully you may be doing other things as well as typing.
The 318378 I referred to is the same same number Jan gave you
in her original reply. It is an MS KB article and it does not refer to ie.inf.

I could live with that if I could access Norton Internet Security to unblock
my Fidelity Investments
software from accessing the internet. As it is now I have to disable my
NIS firewall to work
and that is too risky over the long haul with the amount of blocked Trojan
messages I get daily.

I am curious whey I only get this script error message when I open NIS - no
where else.

Dunno. Sounds like you should be looking for help from Symantec.

I am going to try to copy the needed files from the CD onto a disc in my Win
98 computer and then
transfer them to a folder on my WP computer and try to install them from
there.

Which files are those?

Can I just reinstall Win XP over the top of what I have here and that will
fix everything?

That is what these repair procedures should be doing for you.

I would of course back up all data but hate to have to
reload and update a zillion programs. BTW - I installed SP2 and
uninstalled it due to problems. Best I can recall, this script error
problem occurred after I installed SP2.

See top. ;]

Why is this so hard to repair IE6 or uninstall and reinstall it.

You haven't mentioned trying the 318378 Method 2 procedure?

The Method 2 procedure was so search for ie.inf and right click and
click
Install.

ie.inf.

Surely others must have had similar problems to mine.

Most try the latter only?


My computer works perfectly in every way except for
this script error message when I try to open Norton Internet
Security.

Most script errors are beyond the control of the end-user
and are properly ignored by them once they suppress
the debugging message window.

I could live with that if I could access Norton Internet Security to
unblock
my Fidelity Investments
software from accessing the internet. As it is now I have to disable
my
NIS firewall to work
and that is too risky over the long haul with the amount of blocked
Trojan
messages I get daily.
