Long-running script problem

[lindam8016]

Hi, how do you stop long-running scripts from interrupting your browsing? I have Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 7. Thanks!

Please post your solution. It may help someone else with the same problem. That is one purpose of this forum.

Hi Nigel, sorry it took so long to reply...I was very busy over the holidays! I still occasionally get the script error message but not as often. I looked on this website and also googled this and here is what I felt was the best response to this problem and it is actually from someone on this website, nikorr:

"When programmers make mistakes, the computer user is given a choice to continue running the program (script) or not. Since these error notifications are about 99.99% programming related, there's not much you can do. Especially if you upgraded to IE7 by itself or Vista (which has IE7 as the default browser.)

From your desktop with no other programs running, click start > control panel > double click internet options. On the advanced tab, look under browsing and you should see two boxes to disable script debugging. Make sure they're both checked. Also, uncheck the box to display a notification for every error. This might minimize the number of errors you see.

On the general tab, click delete cookies, delete files (including offline content, and clear history one at a time. Answer Yes/OK when prompted. Restart your computer. Sometimes old cookies or temporary files can keep returning you to a script error page. Hope some of this helps."

I also read that you should make note of which websites you get this message on because it could be due to something on a particular website.

I did what nikorr said to do above and I don't notice this message as much.
