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?

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. :eek:

Hi guys,
check the below link from Microsoft which I hope will solve your problem.

How to set time-out period for script

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

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). :rolleyes: 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 what's different is this:

Set the "MaxScriptStatements" Value to DECIMAL, then type 0 to Disable the damn box, Voilà! 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 didn't 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.

Expertsexchange are indeed as crap as their inadvertently double meaning domain name - keep complaining to Google about such money grabbing ads being listed as search results - click the 'Dissatisfied? Help us improve' at the bottom of every Google search result page.

Yes, thank you, your answer helped me exactly fix the same problem,

Landrew123 can you help me . I don't understand how to get rid of : "A script on this page is causing IE to run slowly." message as posted by Xionicfire. Can you explain how you managed to fix it. Am not a computer buff so need simpler terms. Thanks

Hi, I also faced this issue,I overcome this issue by dividing the continues dom execution , for this I used setTimeout function to break up the running script ,resolving this issue is completely depends on how you are dividing the continuous execution

This registery solution doesn't woirk with ie6

I have massage after15 mintus to stop the scripts on web

Hi,

This fix provided by Microsoft is good but this would work for individual local machines.
Suppose if the same problem is being faced by all the users who access my application through ie7 or any version of it then I can't ask them to go apply the solution provided by the Microsoft.How can we implement
This through java to ensure that this is not faced by anyone who accesses my application or any other application.

You can check the Microsoft KB Article for the solutions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175500

Serve.

I have no idea what any of this means, i.e. what 'Styles' means/is, what 'DWORD VALUE' means, etc. But I do know if this works I will be one extremely happy woman. This was relatively easy to do, just took some intuitive guessing regarding HOW to do this, but its done. Will let you know IF it works in about 5 minutes, since I was receiving a 'stop running this script?" window once every minute before doing this. What I don't understand and wish someone could explain, is why this suddenly started happening. I mean I've been going to www.facebook.com for several years (at least it seems that long or longer) and this annoying message just started driving me insane about 2 weeks ago? What gives? Why did it suddenly start happening? And what in the heck does it mean? Anyway brb and let you know how it worked in a few minutes.

YEAH! Bless You! This worked! I have the latest version of IE8. Since my OS is Windows XP-media edition, this is the most current version I can use and I had lost hope of ever being able to use IE again without SCREAMING and pulling out every last strand of my hair, UNTIL I found your solution. I still have no idea what it is I did exactly but it WORKS. Thank YOU!
