Re: Internet Explorer Script Error (User Accounts page)

Open a command prompt window, Start -> Run -> cmd.exe.
Enter the following command,

net user

Does your old user account show up in the list of accounts on your computer?

Enter this command,

net localgroup users

What accounts are listed as being members of this group?

Thanks for the advice, but I wondering if the "SubInACL" solution would
work on my system since I couldn't find the folder Windows Resource
Kits. Is it not for a Windows Professional system?

And on the download page, Windows Home Edition wasn't on the list of
system requirements.

But i'm moving on with it.

I also tried the command prompt solution but it brought back an error
message with there isn't such a user.

I created a new account on my Windows XP Home Edition machine and
made
it a Computer Administrator account, changing the current one to a
limited user account.

In the new account, I wanted to change the older account back to
Computer Administrator and the User Account wouldn't open displaying
a
dialog box with title Internet Explorer Script Error with details:

*******************************************************

An error has occured on the script on this page.

Line:
Char:
Error:
Code:
URL:

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Yes | No


******************************************************

Could I have any help on what has happened and what I can do?

Thanks.

If you don't come up with a simpler fix, you might want to consider
using this
tool.

Quoting from the article listed below, "SubInACL can also help resolve
Internet
Explorer script errors caused by incorrect access control permissions
for
specific user accounts on the system."

registry
permissions

Meanwhile, you can elevate your old account to administrative status by
doing
the following,

Go to Start -> Run and enter cmd.exe in the Open box.
At the command prompt, enter the following command substituting the
correct
account name for where you see OldAccount,

net localgroup administrators /add OldAccount

Good luck
