Hello-

I teach an online class via a service called "WebCT". When I navigate to
the login screen on my laptop (Windows XP Prof. -- IE ver.6) I get the
following error message each time:

"A runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to debug? Line: 201
Unterminated string constant."

All I have to do is click "no" and I can proceed to my login with no
trouble. This, however, does not happen when I navigate to the same site on
another computer. So I am assuming that there is something about my
configuration of IE that is causing it to stumble at this point. I have
looked through the MS KB with no success trying to find guidance. Can
someone here help me?

TIA- Betsy

You probably have script debugging turned on. In the tools options menu
is a check box to turn it off. It's usually no big deal. It means that the
website script is not properly written.
 
Betsy,
Most of the time this is just errors on the web site ..... not your end.
However some ad-blocking apps will cause this (script error) when the ad or
banner fails to display.

Internet Options | Advanced
Select: "Disable script debugging"
Uncheck: "Display a notification about every script error", click Apply\Ok

Verify these Registry entries exist and are correct:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Disable Script Debugger"="yes"
"Error Dlg Details Pane Open"="yes"
"Error Dlg Displayed On Every Error"="no"
"NoJITSetup"=dword:00000000
"NoWebJITSetup"=dword:00000001

Note: always Export before editing .....
[or]
Download the latest version of Windows Script 5.6 for XP\2K
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

Try installing that and see if it helps with your problem.
