This is something new (to me). The script generating this error comes from the SprintPCS servers.
<!–
— Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new
— “feature” to Internet Explorer. If the text in
— an error’s message is “too small”, specifically
— less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns
— its own error message. Yes, you can turn that
— off, but *surprise* it’s pretty tricky to find
— buried as a switch called “smart error
— messages” That means, of course, that many of
— Resin’s error messages are censored by default.
— And, of course, you’ll be shocked to learn that
— IIS always returns error messages that are long
— enough to make Internet Explorer happy. The
— workaround is pretty simple: pad the error
— message with a big comment to push it over the
— five hundred and twelve byte minimum. Of course,
— that’s exactly what you’re reading right now.

[Reply] dave — 04/9/2005 @ 3:52 amI am having a very annoying message - internet explorer script error. I have gone to tools and check on disable script debugging and off display a notification but I still get the message. I also got spyware scanner and had my computer scanned. Nothing was detected. Is there anyone who can tell me how to get rid of the message? I would really appreciate it.
[Reply] lylypop — 12/25/2005 @ 3:41 pmI keep getting this very annoying message- internet explorer script error that pops up on my computer screen when I first turn it on. I noticed that sometimes when I X it out or click yes or no to continue running the script that it starts laughting and I end up shutting down my computer and restarting it. I’ve done a virus scan using mcafee with no success( didn’t detect anything ). I went into internet options from the tools file and disabled script debugging and off display notification but I’m still getting the message. So now I confused I don’t know what else to do to get rid of the message. Can anyone help me?

I ran several different spyware programs and antivirus programs, and none of them found anything. I uninstalled Norton Internet security and nothing happened. Finally, I uninstalled Internet Explorer and installed Mozilla firefox instead, and it was an instant fix!
[Reply] Matt — 03/23/2006 @ 9:53 pmHaving the same poblem on most everthing I click to.Can close it but very often comes back and we play let’s beat the message game.EXTREMELY irritating. Unfortunately I have tried everything and it still won’t go away. I am working on Windows 98 right now.Don’t have a problem with XP.Have been everwhere trying to find an answer, but no luck. There has to be someone out there with an answer. Can’t find a way to reach Microsoft about this yet either.
[Reply] Carol — 07/25/2006 @ 3:44 pmI found that if you go in and configure the Norton Personal Firewall, you will find microsoft error reporting one of the things that can be configured by admit, block, and whatever. I blocked mine, and it actually stopped.
I recommend getting into your personal firewall and poking around. It is REALLY easy and you can change anything back by just redo-ing this procedure.

[Reply] moha — 10/7/2006 @ 8:44 pmI am not convinced that one can ultimately get rid of any of these errors as long as one is running an MS OS. Delete operating system, get something based on UNIX.
[Reply] Gunnar — 10/23/2006 @ 12:24 amIn regard to the Internet Explorer Script Error with Norton Internet Security Error. I download Registry Mechanic Trial and ran the software and my problems was over.

[Reply] syndalee — 04/13/2007 @ 9:28 amit’s very annoying…?….. HELP !
I found a solution at this site(http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb) to the Internet Explorer Script Error problem where blank windows keep popping up regardless of how you set Internet Explorer options. I also couldn’t get to key pages like System Restore or User Accounts. Look at this blog for complaints by many others with the same problem: http://forums.microsoft.com/MS.....p;SiteID=1
