How do I DISABLE these (*&###&*)Internet Explorer 7 script error messages

[beachguy]

I hope some one can offer to me some further suggestions as to how to disable these annoying I.E. 7 script error messages. I am new to this site and recently posted a much shorter version of this problem.  Since I have not gotten any suggestions , I thought I would post again with more info.  I am getting I.E.7 script error messages, and I want to get rid of them once and for all.  I have been reading about these, they seem to be pretty common, and I have followed a lot of suggestions before coming to this site.  So far nothing has worked.  I have found out (according to others) that I.E.7 script error messages can be disabled.  That is what I want to do.

On my computer I have the following:  Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, Vipre (that is the correct spelling) antivirus and firewall (these are excellent)Spysweeper antispyware and Max Registry Cleaner that runs a daily registry scan ( their tech support hasn't solved this problem either so I will probably get rid of their cleaner). I use the current version of Mozilla Firefox as my main browser.  I know I.E.7 is imbedded in Windows and it can complicate things if it is removed. Here is what I have done so far and NONE of it has worked: These suggestions are from various web sources.

I opened I.E.7 and went to Start>Run and typed in "iexplore.exe".
*Tools Menu>Internet Options>Advanced Tab.
*Click on Advanced Tab, scroll down to "Browsing".
*Check off box next to "Disable Script Debugging(IE)".
*Check off box next to "Disable Script Debugging (Other).
*Uncheck box next to"Display a notification about every script error)".
*Click "OK".
These steps did not solve the problem.  I was really surprised!

Next: I tried to disable this service. This is what I really want to do.

*Click on Start>Run> and typed in "services.msc and press "OK"
*Click on "Extended tab" at bottom of page.
*Scroll down and find the service named "Machine Debug Manager".
I got this far in these directions and discovered my list of services DOES NOT have a "Machine Debug Manager.  Could it be in my list with a different name or inside another service that is listed.  I have checked and rechecked and "Machine Debug Manager" is not in my list   I would really like to try and complete this solution, and I have the rest of the directions to do it.  Right now not being able to locate "Machine DeBug Manager" has stopped me cold with this possible solution.

Next:
I clicked Start>Run and typed in "inetcpl.cpl" and pressed enter.
* Internet Properties>Security Tab and then click on "Reset all zones to default level".  This did not work either.  Another Surprise!

Next:
I found a program named DIAL- A -FIX, downloaded it and ran it.  This program is advertised to repair all windows and I.E.7 errors.  It also did not solve the problem.  Not as surprised at this point!

Next:  I tried two free registry cleaners that are supposed to be very good.
* I downloaded and ran two scans each with Eusing Registry Cleaner and Easy Cleaner Registry Cleaner.  Neither one of those eliminated the problem, so I removed them from my computer.  Accepting my fate in computer (#**#) now!!

I am hoping there are more good solutions to try besides these.  I am also wondering if I downloaded I.E.8 would it download over I.E. 7 and solve the probem, or would it load along side I.E.7 and just take up more space as I use Mozilla Firefox anyway.  There has to be a way to disable I.E.7 script error messages.  I do not want to do a clean reinstall of everything. Hoping to get a solution that finally fixes this problem.  The rest of my computer is working fine and fast.  This one issue really has me puzzled. Thank you,

It's showing a script error, because the website you're visiting has an error in its scripts. However, you probably already knew that. So, try this:

Windows Knowledge Base

If that doesn't work, try this:

   1.  Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
   2. Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main registry subkey.
   3. Double-click the Disable Script Debugger value.
   4. Set the value data to "yes" to disable the script debugger, then click OK (setting the value to "no" enables the script debugger).
   5. Restart IE for the change to take effect.

The registry editor is a powerful tool, and can damage your windows installation if you make mistakes. If you're not comfortable using it, try to have another individual with more experience perform any edits.

Thanks for the info.  I tried every suggestion in the Windows Knowledge Base ( none of those has Disabled I.E. script error messages) and I ran "regedit exe."  The script debugger was already marked... yes.
My antivirus and firewall are not set at a high or even medium high security level.  I need more suggestions as to how to disable I.E.script error messages.  Thankyou, beachguy.

Here is a web site that may help you.....then again it may not since a lot of the info comes from the MSKB.

Thanks again,

You were correct, most of what is listed at that site I have already tried and it did not stop these annoying script errors.  But.....  it did provide one more piece of information.  Microsoft admits in that link that this is a problem with their file "KB886617"  They state it causes I.E.7 script error messages.  Of course they don't say how to repair, disable or delete this!!!  It is not one of my stand alone updates listed in Add/Remove programs in the control panel, so I am assuming they buried this somewhere inside Service Pack 3.  Can this file be disabled, repaired, deleted or reinstalled?  Going to Microsoft updates and typing in KB886617 into their Search window only tells what it is but not how to disable it.  Thaks again, Beachguy.

Is it listed as one of your $NTUninstall$ files ? ?

I did a little research and found this :

"If you still get the script or runtime error messages after disabling them in Internet Explorer, the problem might be that you have some unwanted spyware or adware installed on your computer."

Perhaps instead of banging your head,  follow the guidelines and post the 3 required logs and have a specialist scrutinize your system....Your AV could possibly be missing an infection .... I'd take that registry cleaner right off the PC, none are worth the problems they can incur, all use scare tactics and marketing hype ........By any chance did your problems start after you installed the cleaner?
I would avoid IE8......it would download over IE7 but you may compound problems ....... Installing IE8 has not solved a longtime problem I am dealing with......
Solve your issues with IE7 then look to IE8, but if you get IE7 working to your satisfaction, stick with it.

Thanks again for the newest suggestions.  These messages happened before I tried the different registry cleaners and I have run a test to see if I got these script error  messages with my anti virus and firewall temporarily turned off to see if I would still get these messages and I did.  I don't think it is either of these two programs causing this. Where do I locate $NTUinstall$.  I typed it into "Run" on the Control Panel but it did not come up.  Thanks again , beachguy.
