What browser are you using, I know internet explorer likes to give script errors.

I am unfamiliar with script errors, so i'm of little help here, but if you are using IE like trege said, i suggest another browser, as IE is the programmed version of the devil.  I use firefox, but Chrome is good too.

You could also have outdated plugins and such, or it could be javascript, i think you need to be a little more specific on what the error is/what browser/what you're trying to see/do so we can help you better  :]

If you want to try a new browser Firefox Opera and Chrome are pretty good.

Opera is very little on updates and cant run most sites anymore.

yeah, I recommend switching to either firefox or chrome, whichever suits you, and see it that helps.

I believe you can import your bookmarks from browser to browser, but I may be wrong.  Let us know how it turns out.  :D

A drastic move would be to back everything up on a portable HD and just reinstall Windows, it would take a long time, but you would end up with a clean slate  :P

I would consider that only when all else fails, don't even get me started on the hassles of reinstalling operating systems, lol.

I feel that with a little script problem it's likely IE being stubborn and a different browser MAY fix that.

Yeah if it's IE he is using it's likely the cause of it I can get script errors on that even on a new PC and clean OS installs.

Agreed. Internet Explorer and applications that use windows protocols that utilize IE for communication purposes can cause script errors. Switching applications should fix it.
If you don't use plugins on your browser (which you shouldn't be if you use IE), then go with Chrome. It's faster, more lightweight, and in some situations more robust. Firefox is slightly slower, but has a lot more support for community made plugins (and is a bit more clunky in my personal opinion.)

If installing a new browser and setting it as default doesn't fix the problem, then I have a good idea of what else it may be. Just post here. Good luck! ^-^
