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

Hi! Thanks for responding.
My Win XP Home Edition version is: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600

I use free versions of AVG 7.5 virus software, SuperAntiSpyware, AdAware,
and Glary utilities. I have tried to use programs prior to and since this
error to "fix" and "clean" the registry, with reg backups prior. My firewall
is the XP SP2 firewall. I do not use MS Defender (but have in the past). None
of this software is from AT&T Yahoo. I previously had their security suite
from MacAffey, supplied by them, and had no problems. I uninstalled it
months ago prior to starting the new browser download with security by Norton
(I never got the software to download and install.)
Hope this helps.
I also have CCleaner and HiJack This on my desktop, and can run those if you
feel it would be helpful. Please let me know if any of the programs above
should be uninstalled.
Thanks,
Tom Brown

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?
