Script Error from Control Panel User Accounts
Hi all:
I just recently upgraded - about a month ago - to Windows XP. The program is up to date with all Service Packs and security fixes. For the last couple of days I've been working with user accounts and a problem has cropped up. When I click on Control Panel then User Accounts an Internet Explorer Script Error window pops up with the following message: ! An error has occured in the script on this page. Line: 4 Char: 1 Error: Access is denied Code: 0 URL: res://C:WINDOWS\system32\nusrmgr.cpl/nusrmgr.hta It's only the Control Panel User Accounts action that causes this error. After closing the Script Error window things seem to work properly, though at some point McAfee Antiviurs pops up and says: A suspicious script has been detected! the file mshta.exe contains suspicious scripting activity and has been stopped. Searching for "mshta.exe" doesn't turn up much in the newgroup and what there is seems to be a couple of years old. Does anyone have an idea what's causing this problem, and how to fix it? TIA. Tom Young |

mshta.exe is located in the WINDOWS\system32 and
WINDOWS\system32\dllcache folders. Show hidden files, folders, and system files: http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html Locate and the right click it, choose Properties, then click the Version tab. It should be version 6.0.2900.2180 for SP2. You can scan the file he http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner Try the Kaspersky File Scanner to check the file out. It may be a False Positive from McAfee. If that's the case, contact them.

Thank you for the help. It looks to be a false positive from McAfee.
I closed down every aspect of McAfee I could find then rebooted. The next attempt to open User Accounts worked just fine. Tom Young |
