Re: IE 6 Script error-multiple unsuccessful attempts to fix

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

State your Windows version and post the complete (verbatim) error message.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Did you get any of this software from ATT/Yahoo?

I get the above error when I try to download updated AT&T Yahoo software
(browser and security). I have an older version installed that works fine.
The error states:
"exception thrown and not caught" with a line #, character and code #'s and
the URL:
http://att.software.yahoo.com/ysftc/p/att/v4/results?papps=NSO&papps=NSS&papps=YPC

I click on "YES" to continue running scripts, and I get a message saying I
must be an administrator to install the software.

I have tried to reinstall IE6, I have tried to change my administrator file
(in case it was corrupt), I have run countless vrus and spyware scans
without problems found, I have called AT&T and HP--they can't help. I have
signed in as a different administrator on my machine and get the same error
message.
I have no problems installing other files downloaded with IE6, and otherwise
my old AT&T Yahoo software runs fine. I am able to download and install this
on my other computers with Win XP and Vista.
I have even reinstalled XPSP2 without improvement.
I am at a loss with what to do. Can anyone help?
