Re: Problem with Norton Internet Security said by Richard09:Whenever I go and try to change anything is the personal firewall settings, I'm getting an "Internet Explorer Script Error" Therefore, I can't make the necessary changes. Any ideas on how to get rid of this? Interesting. Several years ago (at any rate), Symantec was using XML for the Norton Integrator (what I still prefer to call the Norton console), which is what you see if you click on a Norton product on your desktop or in the System Tray. You might want to try running a "Repair" operation on MSIE. I've pretty much quit using it myself, but hold on a sec . . . Okay, looks like you'll have to try that through "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel. (And don't forget to check Windows Update for anything new, while you're at it.)
See if that solves the problem. (Might not be a bad idea to re-boot after doing this.)

| How do you run a repair from the Add/Remove? All I see is add/remove. |

Reston, VA | When I go to "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel and scroll down to MSIE (actually labeled "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools" on my box), click on "Add/Remove ..." , the resulting window that pops up offers three options: •Add a Component • Repair • Restore the Previous Configuration (or words to that effect).
Are you seeing something different?

| Ah ha, I was looking at the wrong thing. yes, I do have that. I should hit the repair button? |

Reston, VA | Won't hurt.
I was just having a similar kind of problem with MS Excel, which I solved by 'repairing' it, also.
Mind, I'm not guaranteeing this will solve your problem, but it's likely a good place to start.
I'm presuming you've got all critical updates installed for Windows and MSIE.

| I have all the critical updates. When I went to "repair", it said that it could not be repaired and that I needed to reinstall IE. How do I do this? |

Reston, VA | Need some advice from someone other than myself in this case. I've never gotten that message.
Oh, sure, I could throw something out, but if I were wrong you might end up with no MSIE at all!
Before you do anything, however, I would suggest you download and install Firefox (doesn't have to be on your boot drive) just in case something gets screwed up. That way, you'd still be able to get back here if need be.

kudos:1 | Richard, I think the bigger problem right now is NIS. I think you might want to try an uninstall, reinstall of NIS first. Then, if it corrects your issue (or not), go and repair, reinstall IE.

Do you have the Norton Internet Security 2005 CD to do the reinstall?

Reston, VA | Well, if you downloaded it (presumably from Symantec's website), didn't you store the files somewhere on your system -- maybe in a Downloads folder? (I sure hope you didn't just run it direct to do the installation.)
