An error has occurred in the script on this page.....
the following happens to me all the time on my
Gateway Solo laptop with Windows Milleniun edition installed:
Often when I click on a link that opens up a new browser window, the browser freezes, stops loading , turns all white and the whole computer freezes and then i have to reboot my damn computer. I'm using Microsoft Internet Explorer, Version 5.5 (5.50.4134.0600 to be exact).
When the computer reboots after freezing like this,
i sometimes get the following error box (which comes up
BEFORE i even startup internet explorer, i.e right after the desktop shows up.)oh also, after windows boots up
the desktop is all white and i have to click on
a button to "Activate my desktop", or "Return to Active Desktop" or something like that.
oh and this happens on tons of webpages, not just specific ones, so it's definitely not some screwed up javascript on some page.
well here's the error:

Inasmuch as you are unfamiliar with the use of WindowsUpdate, I've accessed the site and created this cut/paste information to help you further:
----
Following are known issues with the Windows Update Web site. If you find a problem that is not listed below, please let us know by clicking Write Us on the black toolbar, and then clicking Windows Update.
Windows Update refreshes the Product Updates catalog every time you visit this area of the site. This enables you to see the most current condition of your computer. For example, if you download two new themes and then return to the Product Updates catalog, your view is updated and you no longer see the two themes you downloaded as available updates. These will still appear in the Show Installed Updates view, but will now be shown as installed.
You will not be able to use the left navigation bar while a download is in progress. This is to ensure that your download happens successfully. When the download is complete, the navigation bar is available again.
The links on the Windows Update home page will not change color after you have selected them.
Keyboard access for certain functions on the site, for accessibility purposes, is not fully implemented.
In very rare instances, if you choose to run multiple instances of this site and have the Product Updates control run simultaneously to check for updates, it will lock your browser for a long period of time.
After you download a component from the Product Updates catalog, don't open a new browser window while the "Download Confirmed" page is on the screen. Otherwise a script error message will appear.
In rare cases, when you connect to the Internet via a modem, you may see a script error. If this happens, try your connection again.
If your security settings are set to High, you will not be able to gain access to the Product Updates catalog. In order to use the Product Updates area of the site, you need to set your security settings to Medium or Low. To change your security settings:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Choose the Medium setting.
If you receive a message about Critical Update Notification before you have logged on to the network or Windows, accept the notification after logging on. Do this by moving the dialog box, or by clicking Notify me later and then logging on. This message may appear only if your computer is connected to a local area network (LAN).
In Windows 98, if you have downloaded security patches or the IME/SR1 component, reinstalling Windows 98 overwrites the security patches and the IME code. However, the Windows Update catalog will continue to show IME components and security patches as installed. To reinstall the security patches or IME components:
Go to the Product Updates section of Windows Update.
Click Show Installed Updates, and then select the box next to the patches and IME components you want to install.
Click Download, and then follow the instructions.
In some cases, after you install Critical Update Notification, the catalog might not reflect the installation. Check Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel to make sure your installation was successful.
When you choose to install the Windows 98 Customer Service Pack, the Outlook Express Year 2000 update (included in the Customer Service Pack) is not installed. The component will appear as "not installed" after the Customer Service Pack installation is complete. To install the Outlook Express Year 2000 update, go back to the Product Updates Catalog, choose Outlook Express 4.0 Year 2000 Update from the Critical Components section, and download it separately.
The Windows Update site may appear in a language other than the language of your browser or operating system. For example, your browser and operating system might be in English, but the Windows Update site is in French. The Windows Update site appears in the language for which your browser's language preference is configured. To change the language preference of your browser:
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu.
Click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click the Languages button.
Select the language you want, then use the Move Up button to place your selection at the top of the list of languages.
Anti-Virus Software Users: Please note that some anti-virus software programs may interfere with the download and installation of some components. To prevent this interference, disable the anti-virus software before downloading items from the Product Updates catalog.
An Internet Explorer Favorites link to Windows Update may not function properly. For best results, access Windows Update by using the link in your Start menu (click Start and then click Windows Update), or type windowsupdate.microsoft.co
If you upgraded your Internet Explorer browser recently, when you return to Windows Update you may see updates that you installed when you were running an earlier version of Internet Explorer. The updates you are offered now are provided specifically for your upgraded browser. To ensure that your new Internet Explorer browser has the highest level of security, Microsoft recommends that you install these updates for your new browser.

What is Windows Update?
Windows Update is the online extension of Windows, designed to help you keep your computer up-to-date. Windows Update has a central catalog called Product Updates that includes new product enhancements such as system files, device drivers, service packs, and new Windows features. These enhancements are recommended to you based on what is needed for your specific computer.
What is Product Updates?
The Product Updates page is a catalog of fixes, updates, and enhancements to Windows and many programs that work with Windows. You can browse through the catalog, select as many components as you would like, and download and install them straight from the Web to your computer.
Why do I get a message saying an ActiveX control on this page is not safe?
This message is displayed when your security setting in Internet Explorer is set to High. For the Windows Update site to work properly, you must change the browser's security settings for the Internet zone to Medium or lower. To do so, click the Tools menu, then click Internet Options. Select the Security tab and then click on Internet.
What is an ActiveX control?
ActiveX Controls are reusable software components that incorporate ActiveX technology. These components can be used to add specialized functionality, such as animation or pop-up menus, to Web pages, desktop applications, and software development tools. Windows Update uses ActiveX controls to check what software is installed on your computer in order to provide you with a correct list of updates and other software you may want to download.
What is the best resolution for viewing the Windows Update site?
The Web pages on the Windows Update site were designed to be viewed at 800 by 600 or higher screen resolution. To set this resolution, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Then double-click the Display icon, and click the Settings tab.
Does information about my computer get transmitted to Microsoft?
No. Each time you go the Product Updates catalog, Windows Update uses a control to check for updates specific to your computer. This check is done locally on your computer to ensure the privacy and security of your data, and does not send any information to Microsoft.
How do I send my feedback to the Windows Update team?
You can send feedback about this site to the Windows Update team by clicking Write Us, then Windows Update on the black toolbar at the top of each page.

From within IE - tools - internet options - advanced - Browsing - check to DISABLE script debugging. Then, if Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition - also do this. Close the browser and reboot to ensure all settings are in place after you do this:
start-run-msconfig-start up. Uncheck the item that lists Machine Debug Manager (MDM) to bypass and stop this from loading at reboot.
All should not be well.

I'd consider doing what I noted earlier, From within IE - tools - internet options - advanced - Browsing - check to DISABLE script debugging.
Then, if Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition - also do this. Close the browser and reboot to ensure
all settings are in place after you do this:
start-run-msconfig-start up. Uncheck the item that lists Machine Debug Manager (MDM) to bypass and
stop this from loading at reboot.
I'd also do this: From within IE - tools - internet options - general - clear your temporary internet files, and history files (I've configured my history to only maintain 2 days to minimize buildup of history I don't want). Also within that tab, choose settings for IE Temporary Internet files and make sure you've checked either that the page refreshes "each visit to the page" (my preference) or automatic. I'd also do a general maintenance which includes cleanup/scandisk and defrag.
When you've made changed to your active desktop settings, have you tried start - settings - active desktop - update now?
Bottom line, the problems you've experienced should be resolved, but would appreciate hearing from you on the progress you've made and the results you've achieved in these processes so we can finalize this for you and get you what you need.
Thanks,
