First, I would like to acknowledge the following staff whose various options
allowed me to fix all the graphics, images, and error pages that I have been
researching for over ONE MONTH: Jan Il and Don Varnau...thank you!!!
Second, this is the first time I've ever posted to a forum. I will leave it
up to the experts to clean-up or simplify the following steps I took to fix
my problems (I hope pasting the instructions from Jan Il and Don V. is
legal??):
1. (JanI1): 'Action Canceled' error message is considered a 'friendly http'
error message in IE. Go to Tools>Internet Options> Advanced tab and uncheck
"Show friendly HTTP error messages".
2. (Jan I1): Script Debugging Problem: Open IE
Tools | Internet Options |Advanced
Under Browings:
Disable Script Debugging - Check it
Display a notification about every script error - Uncheck it
Apply.
(Vicki: Before closing Internet Options, on the General Tab (first page), I
deleted Cookies, Files (check the box for Offline Files), and Cleared
History.
3. (JanI1): HOSTS: If you're running a windows 2000 or xp machine, look
for a file called "HOSTS" (no extension) and delete this file (or rename it
HOSTSbak - if you don't feel confortable deleting it).
(Vicki's NOTE: I ran SEARCH (start button)for files/folders - enter HOSTS ;
left "containing text" blank;
"look in" - select Local Disk (C
....(NOT Local Harddrives (C); search
now. Found three files...deleted HOSTS (with no extension).
4. (Don Varnau): click link: http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/scriptdb.htm .
Script Debug Error page...(most of which was created/designed by Don Varnau
and Mike Burgess).
Third paragraph should read:
1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
I have Windows 2000 and clicked the link for Windows Script 5.6 (Even though
I had downloaded it several weeks ago...) Once installed, I clicked "yes" to
restart computer.
My computer rebooted; I signed onto MSN with the expectation of seeing my
usual Red X's in white squares and Action Canceled that have appeared for the
past 5-6 weeks. I never thought that I would be so ecstatic to see all the
advertising and pop-up banners just a'popping up all over the place. Think
I'll leave my pop-up guard off for awhile to enjoy the view!!
Thank you, Jan Il and Don Varnau....you saved me from going completely bald
from pulling out what little bit of hair I had left. I sure hope that these
steps help others.
