what are runtime errors?

[Guest]

I'm suddenly getting 'runtime' errors with debugging options. What are
runtime errors (they seem to be connected to java script?) and why should
they suddenly be popping up when for two years my version of XP and my IE
never gave me a runtime error?

Is it something I SHOULD debug? How do I do that once the debugging (java
script box) box pops up?

Can I disable that option? How if so?

Open Internet Explorer | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab |
CHECK: Disable script debugging | UNCheck: Display a notification
about every script error | Click Apply | Click OK

On XPSP2 also check: Disable script debugging other

Disable script debugging
[Specifies whether you want to turn off your script debugger, if one is
installed. Script debuggers are used by Web site developers to test programs
and scripts on their Web pages.]

Display a notification about every script error
[Specifies whether to display the actual script errors when a page does not
appear properly due to problems with its scripting. This feature is off by
default, but is useful to developers when testing Web pages.]

Try the following and see if it helps:


"A runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to debug?"

If you happen to have any toolbars installed, such as Google, Yahoo or
MSN, close IE then uninstall the program(s) through Add/Remove
programs then open IE again. See if that resolves the problem. If
not, then try the following:

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:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

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

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):
