Default Blank Script Errors ... Please help

I'm having issues with Script errors. I tried deleting the account and files
and made sure that Documents and Settings didn't have that user anymore.
However, when I created a new account, the errors didn't disappear.
When I tried to set a password and opened Users from Control Panel, even
that User window showed script errors.
When the window opens so I can check the script error, everything is blank,
Line, Error, etc.
I noticed this when I was browsing Overstock.com. When I click on Search(red
button), the yellow triangle appears in the bottom left. And when I click on
the triangle, the window opens up and there is nothing listed in the window.
I might have had this problem before Overstock.com, however that's when I
noticed it.
I have Windows XP SP3, IE7, All updates.
I have reset the IE7 settings in Internet Options, I've deleted all temp
files.
None has helped.
Hope someone sheds a light on this.
Thanks

G

A full URL would be more helpful if you want somebody to confirm your observation.
The most likely explanation is that the page is incompatible with your browser.
You could probably get better diagnostics by invoking a script debugger.

Then instead of posting in the IE6 NG it would be better to post in the IE General NG.

First, thank you for your response.
This happens when I open User Accounts in Control Panel, also.
I'm thinking it has to do with Windows XP itself.
I'm unable to re-add another user since I've deleted the user that it was
having problems
The pc works fine from my account, however when I create another account and
I want to assign a password or change picture, I am unable to get to User
Accounts because I get the script error.
It isn't only from within IE7. And the website I was talking about is the
homepage of www.overstock.com.
The page loads without any errors, however when I type something in the
search bar of the website, and as soon as I click on the red Search button,
a yellow triangle appears in the bottom left corner of IE.

Sorry if I misinformed you.

Thanks again,
G

The only "red" button that I can see there is in an ad for O-Mail,
labeled Join Now. Perhaps you should refresh your cache?
E.g. press Ctrl-F5 at least.

Hmm... I can simulate a problem with the site using Prompt for Active Scripting.
E.g. after the 10th prompt I finally get to see some of the page and then reply No.
Any other combination of Yeses and Nos seems to work. When that happens
it may have something to do with a doubleclick ad, so if you are trying to suppress
ads perhaps you should stop doing that and see if your symptom changes? eg


a yellow triangle appears in the bottom left corner of IE.



There is some kind of recovery after the script error that I induced
so it's not surprising that there is no clear message for that.

I've tried to register the dlls, however that didn't solve the problem.
I've discovered that since I couldn't close the script error by clicking Yes
or No, the window wouldn't go away, so I had to close mshta.exe from the
Process list in the Task Manager.
Would this give any hints as to what's going on with my computer?
I'm including a screenshot of the script error.
Hope this helps

No idea why you're getting a blank script error, unless it's associated
with malware. But try this:

Click Start, Run, type SFC /SCANNOW, click OK. If any files are damaged
or missing, they'll be replaced. You may need to reboot afterwards so
damaged files will be replaced.

There are plenty of articles on the file.
