Each time I attempt open mail I first have to go through a pop-up headed "Internet Explorer Script Error". It has lines below with headings: Line: xxxx, Char: x; Error: Object Expected; Code: 0; URL: mhtml.mid//00000028/.

Any suggestions?

My first time using Geeks to Go, so I may not be efficient. I assume you want mail.mchsi.com. This is MediaCom cable.

I've gone through the first set of directions without resolving the problem. Need to do a little research before completing the second set. I have confidence in the long term, however, and appreciate your help.

I've gone through the Repair IE in XP and Reset the IE (as requested). Now of course I've lost quite a bit of info, but have the same problem. After "reset" it Welcomed me very nicely to Windows 7. It then asked me to make two settings selections. The first was a two choice question, "do you want to stay with your current Browser?", or "B) Do you want to select a new Browser." No matter what combinations I used I got the response 'ettings not able to be saved successfully'

The following requires a registry edit, we strongly recommend making a backup of the registry before making any changes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

This fix is quite easy.

* Click Start > Run and type the following into the Open box:
gpedit.msc
Click OK.
* Using the left hand pane, navigate as follows:
User Configuration
> Administrative Templates
> Windows Components
> Internet Explorer
* In the right-hand side pane double-click on Prevent performance of First Run Customize settings
* Change the setting for Prevent performance of First Run Customize settings to Enabled and use the drop-down box to select Go directly to home page

* Click OK and close Group Policy
* Restart Internet Explorer 7

There are a couple of other possible fixes.

First involves a registry edit.

* Click Start > Run and type the following into the Open box:
regedit
Click OK.
* Using the left-hand pane, navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
* In the right-hand pane, right-click on RunOnceHasShown and change the value to 1
* Close Regedit and restart Internet Explorer 7
