is it always "Ancestry.co.uk" that it complains about or does that change each time?

The issue is due to a problem in Javascript, you could try disabling that although some websites need it for some functionality, you will need to see if it impacts you on any particular sites you use.

Hi Ian.
No until today, it was mostly other websites when it occured, then to day it started on Ancestry, I tried roll back to yesterday, that didn't work, deleted explorer 8, which then brought up a message, when I logged on to Ancestry which suggested Explorer 7,
they also mentioned they were having ongoing issues with Expl 8.
Explorer 7 was as bad, so I've deleted that and gone back to Explorer 6, every thing seems ok so far.
I've tried Fire Fox and all the others, but I dont like them.

what do you not like about firefox?

are you on windows vista/7 ? if so Have you tried Internet Explorer 9?

you could just disable script debugging if its annoying too much and perhaps update java

amen cashman

I don't like them because I can't do what I'm used to doing, as you get older new fangled things become difficult to get used to, it takes about 3 days to learn a new habit, but a fortnight to forget the old one.
I'm on WinXP, I've tried Vista & Win 7, don't like them either, so I gave the computers away.
As for script debugging, please explain how, click by click, my short term memory is playing up a bit, as for this java thingy, didn't know I had it.

Actually i got java and javascript mixed up... ignore that

i think its something like ->
In internet explorer

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> check Disable script debugging

Hi Restless
Done what you suggested, both the boxes which refer to scipt debugging already have ticks in them.
A few minutes ago I tried to post a picture on Accy Web as soon as I clicked on attachments, the dammed box came up again and wouldn't let me continue.
I also ran a search in windows explorer, in program files, and although there are over 600 fileswith the word Java in them, I cannot find a specific program called Java.

Hi Restless
Yes, I bought a new copy of win-xp about two years ago.
Just clicked on attachments again to see what happens and the dammed box came up, when I clicked at the top of the screen to allow pop ups, the attachment box opened, now the line at the top says pop-ups temporarily allowed.

Is this happening on more than 1 or 2 sites you visit?

here is tips on this issue.

How to troubleshoot script errors in Internet Explorer on Windows-based computers

May be worth a read. Quite a few things to try out. Perhaps you should try the deleting all temp files first rather than later(method 4) you will lose passwords etc but perhaps a temp file on pc is causing the error

Hi Restless
It happens on several sites, sometimes on Accy Web, but not on Rossonline or Blackburn.
I have a program called Fixit utilities by Avanquest, which I run quite regularly, it updates my anti virus, cleans out unescessary files & registry errors, without losing passwords, so I don't think its that,
but theres sumat up some where.

I would upgrade your explorer.. if you don't want to the when you get the pop up just accept.. it happens but should not affect your browsing.

Thats one of the problems. I upgraded to 7, then Ancestry recommended upgrading to 8, then they came up with the message that they are having problems with explorer 8. So I went back to eplorer 7. and the dammed box still kept coming up, now I'm back on explorer 6 and the popups have stopped
