About 15 minutes after booting up Internet Explorer a get a ..stop running this script message..saying " a script on this page is causing IE to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may be unresponsive." How do I get rid of this annoying box?

S Templar

Try..IE>tools>internet options>advanced.
Untick>Display notification of every script error.
Tick>Disable script debuggimg.

I have the same issue. I had Internet Eplorer already set up the way S Templar advised, but it did not change a thing for me. I still get the message. It would be nice if Microsoft would be so kind as to let me know which script it is detecting as the problem.

I tried this method. It doesn't appear to be having any effect. The error still exists. Thanks for the attempt!

Just download Firefox -- set it as default bowser and move on. Your trying to make a silk purse out of a cows ear, IE is a pos. -- Savage

Try an IE fix.
This will reinstall all IE core files.

IEFix Utility - Description

Mr_Stock

The IEFix utility apparently doesn't work with IE7.

I use NetCaptor as my default browser. I have used NetCaptor for years and really like it. Unfortunately, I believe that NetCaptor uses portions of IE to function. Stinks that MS had to ruin a good thing (imagine that). Looks like I download FireFox and stop farting around with IE altogether. Thanks for the advice.

Found the damn solution FINALLY....

Do this:

1. Using a Registry Editor such as Regedt32.exe, open this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplo rer\Styles

Note If the Styles key is not present, create a new key that is called Styles.
2. Create a new DWORD value called "MaxScriptStatements" under this key and set the value to the desired number of script statements.

HOWEVER whats different is this:

Set the "MaxScriptStatements" Value to DECIMAL, then type 0 to Disable the damn box, Voila! no more "script is taking for too long" box, i felt like i should let you guys know, no one seems to know this answer and i googled everywhere, and didnt feel like supporting the AHols at Experts exchange.

I hope this helps someone

Thanks that seems to work for me though I only just did it. It is base d on the microsoft solution quoted above - How to set time-out period for script. Bit worrying that the default was 5 million errors what site could be doing that many scripts? I had the problem when using Google Maps.
