Re: IE Script Error in OE when trying to print

I've tried everything you've suggested and a bunch of other stuff that other
folks have offered from other sources. I did Sys Restore finally to before
the updates last week. No help at all. I doubt whether printer drivers are
responsible--no one else has gotten rid of this thing by reinstalling them.
I can print just fine from IE or any other application I try. It is only
emails in OE that give the error. This is clearly a MS issue and it needs to
be escalated up the ladder to them to get help. Can an MVP get their
attention? Nobody else seems able to do it.

Unless you have another idea---I think I'll try to boot in Safe Mode and see
it that gets around it. Let you know what happens.
