Hmmm. I'm out of ideas, but let me ask the experts to see if anyone else has a suggestion...

Actually, I take that back --- I thought harder, and I do have another idea

Try running Internet Explorer, going to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security, and Reset the options for the Internet zone. Then follow the instructions on this page:

http://www.buymebuym...ascript.html#IE

for Internet Explorer 6.x, to ENABLE Javascript. That means enable Active Scripting, etc. Then restart your computer and see if the problem goes away.

Thanks, that was a good idea to check those settings! Those settings in IE were already in place. I tried disabling them, restarting IE, and re-enabling the settings, but the issues with IE continue.

Hmmm. Okay; let me ask for other ideas from the experts. Thanks for your patience.

Let's try this, courtesy of bananafanafo. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts, and create a new account. Log onto Internet Explorer on the new account, and let me know if the same problem occurs. This will hopefully give me some insight into where the problem might lie.

Thanks again to you to and that bananafana-dude. I created a new user and recieved the same issues on IE with the new user.

Okay. The next idea I've been given (from ukbiker) is that it might be an AOL problem. Are you using the AOL browser, or just regular Internet Explorer? If you are using the AOL browser, try using Internet Explorer proper and see if you get the same error. You could also try reinstalling the AOL software, and see if that helps...

I'm using regular IE. I do have AOL 9 installed (and use it a couple times a week) and had this installed long before the issue started)

Interestingly enough, when I use the browser via AOL, the pop-up links work fine. I only recieve the error on the pop-up links and print links using regular IE.

I'll reinstall AOL once I get a chance. Let me know if any more suggestions, THX again!

That is even more interesting to me. Let me ask for more ideas and get back to you. Thanks for being so patient...

Okay, here's our next idea: try downloading and installing the Windows Scripting Host from here:
http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en

I think your problem may be with Javascript, not with Internet Explorer itself.

[xcalnd1]

I downloaded the program and installed, rebooted and the issue remains.

I agree it has something to do with Javascript, since it seems to only occur with javascript commands.

I've also uploaded screenshot.doc, with screenshots of the error and the link. I get this error (or similar error with different line number) all the time when I use IE and MSN (which uses IE, of course).

Thanks for the tip, let me know if there's anything else to try!

Okay, let's try this. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and remove Sun Java. Then go to www.sun.com and reinstall the Java environment. Does that help?

[xcalnd1]

I thought to try this too, that's a good tip. After the issue started occuring, I uninstalled Java, then reinstalled with the latest version 1.5. Issue still occured after this. Thx again.

[Swandog46]

Okay... here's the really drastic idea. Uninstall Internet Explorer 6 and completely reinstall it from:
http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en

This is my last trump card so I hope it would work...

[xcalnd1]

Is there a way to completely uninstall IE? There is no option to remove it under add/remove programs. I tried deleting the IE folder under Program Files, and then reinstalling IE, but I still get the same issue on the popup links. Thanks again.
