I installed IE7 on my family computer and now every webpages reports a script error. The dialog pops up, but with no info. It just says script error and nothing else no file or line. I went to internet options and disabled show every script error and tried installing IE7 again and uninstalled java.

Man I can't believe.....the exact same thing is happening to me!! Ever since I installed IE 7, my computer has not been the same. I keep on getting these "Scripts are usually safe, do you want to allow scripts to run?" message boxes and it won't stop, it's persistent - even after clicking Yes (or no - it doesn't matter it seems) I have to continue to keep on seeing this box over and over and over again. I've messed with my security so many times it's not funny. I can't surf the web anymore for the annoyance of these message boxes!!! I wanted to uninstall 7 cause I heard it's causing everyone the same kinds of problems, but it doesn't exist in the "Add or Remove Programs" - So I was wanting to know if it's ok to just go ahead and try to re-install IE 6 again and just not use the IE 7???? Any help on this issue? I hate IE 7 cause of the problems it's caused.

    • They did remove the Start button with Windows 8, but everyone had their pitchforks out. That OS had its many issues, but you could work on a desktop environment without the Start. Safe to say not many liked it.
    • I always just assumed that how I start programs is pretty close to how most people do it, which is... 1)Either start a program from desktop icon. or... 2)Windows key (or mouse click on start menu) and when start menu appears type in a little of what program you are trying to find, it will highlight, then press enter (or find it with mouse pointer and click it) is the very basic idea. this is very basic core functionality I would never change since it's quick and to the point and just works and has been this way a long time now. NOTE: I am on Linux Mint 22.1-Xfce (I am using the 'dark' menu since the default light grey is a bit out of place with the rest of Mint's darker look), but the very basics like this are the same as Windows in this regard. I like how Mint tends to pretty much stay the same (minor tweaks from point release to point release that are slight but overall it's pretty much the same) instead of change for the sake of change like Windows does and ends up making some stuff potentially worse as a result. I say screw all of those trends where something has to 'look current' as I am more of the mindset once something looks good enough, which Mint does (along with say Windows 7's core interface and the like), you don't screw with it as if someone does want to mess with it, they can do their own custom tweaks on the side, but the base install should be like that 'old faithful' type of interface that everyone has been familiar with for decades now. so by that standard the 'Start Menu' is still useful. I would NEVER get rid of that core functionality as Win8 pretty much tried that upon release and it made doing VERY basic stuff a chore which is why after I briefly tried Win8 in a VM, I never bothered with that OS again as that was easily Microsoft's biggest mess up with interface changes and I have been using Windows since v3.11 in mid-1990's and that Win8 interface change was by far the biggest mess up from Microsoft (how that made it to the final product is beyond me). I realize they supposedly fixed it in Win 8.1, but by then no one really cared as Win7 was the standard and those moving on from that went to Win10.
    • i click a few things on the start menu, other wise I do still use the run box daily.
    • That article title has a typo, it's supposed to say "Do I even need it?" And... I would not have wasted time writing a full article on a software [or feature] analysis based on exactly 1 user experience.
    • Lots of people use it without having an angsty Gotterdammerung.
