Turn off the debugger, as Eric said, & hopefully all
will be well...

"Control Panel, Internet Options, Advanced tab, Browsing
section".
(a) Check "Disable script debugging".
(b) Uncheck "Display a notification about every script
error".

I'm thinking the following may also be applicable to
your condition...
"START, Find, F/F, fff*". Got any, with a name that is
tons long?
Then...

.......Quote.........
You find that you are accumulating a lot of temporary
files in your
Windows directory that start with fff and have a .tmp
extension, similar
to this:

fff137e3_{3BC6A120-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp
fff137e3_{3BC6A121-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp

These files are created by a bug in certain versions of
MDM.EXE....two
every time it is loaded.
See he
OFF2000: Files Whose Name Begins with 'fff' Appear in
Windows Folder"
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=221438

OFF: How to Turn Off Machine Debug Manager, Mdm.exe
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321410

MDM is loaded with programs such as Office, and
Microsoft Script
Debugger.
The fix is to prevent it from loading, by renaming the
file, and
removing its reference in the startup group.

Rename MDM.EXE to MDM.EX_ or MDM.BAD, or something like
that.
Look for any reference to MDM.EXE in the Startup folders:
C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
and in the registry run key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVers
ion\Run
and delete it.

Then delete all those fff___.tmp files.
Note that if you reinstall any of the programs that
added MDM.EXE, you
may get it loaded back, and will have to disable it
again.

| Thank you Eric for your timely response. The concern I
| have with the error message that each time she gets the
| message it also freezes up her machine and she has to
| cold shut it down. Do you think by disabling this
| notification that it will also stop her machine from
| freezing up? I will have her follow your directions and
| thanks again for your help - it is greatly appreciated.

| You can usually bypass those scrip error messages by
| just
| clicking on the OK button.
|
| If you don't want the message to show, open Internet
| Options in the Start = Settings = Control Panel,
open
| the Advanced tab, and disable the setting
| called, "Display
| a notification about every script error".
|
| The error is with Yahoo's site, not with your
computer,
| and its usually not a serious error, that's why you
can
| switch the error notification off.
