>> I'm having problems with an old Dell Computer running Win XP owned by a

>>
>> He had major virus issues, which I fixed by using the Dell PC Restore.

>> PC Restore causes the computer to return to original factory settings by

>> that

>> games.  After using PC Restore, I updated Windows
>> (windowsupdate.microsoft.com) , deleted the old anti-virus trial version
>> app,
>> and installed Norton 360.
>>
>> Everything was fine until he started a game that required Adobe 
>> Shockwave.
>> The game automatically started a Shockwave download, and he used the run
>> (immediately) option instead of saving and running it later.  Afterwards,
>> an
>> Internet Explorer Scrip Error message window appeared, saying.
>>
>> An error has occurred in the script on this page
>>
>> Line 195
>> Char 1
>> Error 'nwNews.1.2[...].0' is null or not an object
>> Code 0   etc.
>>
>> An option is given to run or not run the script, but nothing works ok.
>> The
>> message appears every time IE is started.
>>
>> I uninstalled and reinstalled Shockwave to no avail.  Changing the 
>> startup
>> link from Dell to msn.com didn't help either, other than changing the
>> script
>> error details.
>>
>> I installed Firefox, and it works fine.
>>
>> Any suggestion on fixing IE?  I prefer Firefox, but IE is needed for
>> Windows
>> updates (and my friend may prefer IE).
