Script Errors Troubleshooting

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I am having problems with Script Errors and wondering how to fix it?” - Manuel Y., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer:

Overview of Script Errors

Script errors are fairly common and occur on web pages and desktop applications. There is little a user can do to correct a script error because the problem is within the coding of the web page or program. Only a programmer familiar with the computer language used to create the web page or program has the ability to go into the code, find the problem, and correct it.

Users can report the errors so that the programmers are aware of it and try to fix the problem. Script errors can occur in any computer language. Basically, a script error is the result of the programmer forgetting a critical piece of code like a semi-colon or bracket. A misspelled word in the program’s code can also result in a script error.

Having certain services disable in the operating system can also cause script errors. Active X and Java are two services that users may have disabled to improve the performance of one application but are required to interpret the script of another application the user needs. Enabling these types of services can resolve many script errors.

What Problems are Associated with Script Errors?

The most common script error a user will experience when surfing the Internet is, “A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly.” The same error message can be experienced in any browser and the message will indicate the browser currently in use.

The user can either continue using the page while it runs slowly or close the page and try another web site or attempt to visit the same page with a different browser. Some browsers will be able to function normally despite certain script errors.

A common error with desktop applications is, “Script error; Library not registered.” There is a second line in the error that identifies the exact .dll file that is causing the error. The user can uninstall and reinstall the program in order to have the .dll file properly registered to the program.

Another option is to manually register the .dll file using Window’s Registry Editor. If the user is not familiar with the Registry Editor, they should not attempt registering the .dll file this way because mistakes can cause the computer to crash become very unstable.

Is Your PC Healthy?

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.

Happy Computing!
