Re: IE6 Scripting Problesm

...the computer has McAfee Security

McAfee Security Center (e.g., from your ISP or Yahoo) or McAfee Internet Security?

Was another McAfee application ever installed on the machine at any time in the past? How about a Norton application?

Created a new account and it exhibits the same behavior as my wife's
account. No scripting on webpages using ie6. Also, just installed new
MFPrinter and it wont scan on my wife's account. Cannot create msxml
instance. Is this related?

I didn't ask if the behavior occurred in any other existing User Accounts,
I asked if it was seen in a new User Account that had been used for a few
days.

No. My user account works fine, but my wife's is the problem account.
Again, on her account certain websites do not work properly. If she uses
Firefox instead of IE6, they work fine. The problem is she can't even run
MSN software because she can't get to the sign-in screen. I know that
uses
IE in the background.

Sorry 'bout that.

Tell me this: Does the behavior persist in a new User Account after using
it for a few days?

account is fine, the other has several ie6 related issues.

Not sure it is relevant, but the computer has McAfee Security and Windows
Defender. The machine is fully patched with all automatic updates.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed on the problem
machine? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What
third-party firewall (if any)? Are the same versions of all of them
installed on the other machine?

Are both machines fully patched at Windows Update?

Mapquest directions give a scripting error. MSNBC.com will not allow
me to set my location and give local news. The MSN Premium sign-in screen
will not load - says there is a connect error when I am connect to the internet.
I have matched all security settings between both users so I fear
there is
some registry issue with one account. Short of creating a brand new
account, any ideas for a fix?
