Have recently kept getting the following types of Error Message when trying to access various internet pages:-

An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 142
Char: 207
Error: 'null' is null or not an object
Code: 0
Url: http:// (yahoo email page)

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page

Line: 1
Char: 7
Error: Invalid character
Code: 0
Url: http:/pix.bit.1y/r/invitemedia

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page

It seems to happen a lot on the Daily mail web site, yahoo email & various other web sites.

Am running Windows XP & IE 8

Any advice would be really welcome.

Is your XP up to date? Ie Service pack 3.

Have you tried resetting IE via Internet Options?

How to Disable Script Debugging

oliveoil54

Already has Service Pack 3

Checked Internet Options & there are 2 options on the Advanced Tab
Restore Advanced settings
or
Reset - only use if IE is unstable?
Which should I use?

Try the above solution first. Then go to reset IE - it won't hurt to give it a reboot.

Disable Script Debugging suggests ok if just on one or two web sites, unfortunately this seems to be on quite a few others. So not sure whether to go ahead & disable it?

SteveJH200

Okay, then try resetting IE8 first and see if that cures the problem.

Why not just use a different browser?
