Hi all,

On the rare occasions I get the Active Desktop Recovery wallpaper when something's gone wrong, the "Restore My Active Desktop" button generates the following script error (username is X'ed out):

An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 65
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this action
Code: 0
URL: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/XXXXXX/Application%20Data/Microsoft/Internet%20Explorer/Desktop.htt

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

However, I can find no "Line 65" in the desktop.htt file. According to UltraEdit and Frontpage, the last line is #36.

Can anyone determine what's going wrong here? It's a rare occurance, but annoying. BTW, currently I get rid of it by reapplying my current XP theme.

Thanks :)

      By matthiew · Posted

      Huh? You're delusional calling the Steam Deck dead. It is so successful that it has sold out multiple times. Even after the price hike this year it sold out again with 24 hours of being back in stock. The demand is real and has not died down even after four years.
