57796 2002-06-27 12:16:00 MSIE keeps reporting a" script error on this page" to avoid this I decided to remove MSIE and use Netscape, but theExplorer seems resistant to all the usual methods of deletion. If anybody knows the answer I would appreciate it. I am using XP. Wiremu1. Wiremu1 (693)
57797 2002-06-27 12:19:00 Wiremu,

Why do you need to remove IE in order to run Netscape? Just a thought.

I've looked about for uninstalling IE as well, since it doesn't appear in my "Add/Remove Programmes" list in Control Panel. Apparently there is a way to do it but it involves editing a file somewhere (I read that in an earlier post somewhere).

If I find it I'll post it back here, but someone else might know of an easier way)

57798 2002-06-27 12:19:00 You will need to have a good in-depth knowledge of the XP system to remove IE, as it integrates into XP.

Do a search on Google, but probably better advice is simply don't try it unless you feel like reinstalling XP from scratch!

There is a setting in IE Tools-Options-Advanced-disable script debugging (tick the box)
You are getting the errors because its detecting errors on the page, not because IE is faulty.

Tell it to ignore it and you will never know.

57800 2002-06-27 12:22:00 Thanks godfather,

That's what I was thinking too - which is why I didn't remove it when I found the post earlier...

I try to fiddle as little as possible :)

57803 2002-06-28 00:46:00 Bill said in court that IE is integrated with Windows and you cannot remove it... except some guru did it. Just use Netscape or Opera or Mozilla. Dolby Digital (160)
57804 2002-06-28 01:19:00 Hi

There is a program called 98 Lite that can remove IE from most versions of Windows. The version for removing IE from Windows XP is still under development, see: www.litepc.com

The home page: www.litepc.com

Good reports abound regarding this solution.

Cheers
