IE script error line 642

Question

I'm using bt.yahoo broadband.  In the BT Yahoo Mail tab, whenever I refresh the screen, I see the error:   Internet Explorer Script Error An error has occured on this page Line: 642 Char: 259 Error: Object expected Code: 0 URL: http://uk.f870.mail.yahoo.com/do/launch?.rand=3j7mj7uq74m9b   Do you want to continue running scripts on this page Yes/No   I click 'No' to return to the screen.   BT Support say that this is an IE error & that IE needs to be re-installed.  Is this right?  Is there an easier way of fixing the problem?   I'm using IE7 with all security updates up to security update KB950759

quaker01, You could check IE7 tools>internet options>advanced>browsing - uncheck-display a notification   about every script error>apply.   Just one thing.   Randy

I ran IE7 tools>internet options>advanced>browsing , but 'Display a notification about every script error' is already unticked.

quaker01,   Here is something to check out.   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308260   Have you considered using Firefox 3-works well & not so troublesome for me.   hth, Randy

Thanks for the suggestions, but no joy so far.

I've checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308260 & followed their recommendations (check IE settings, delete tmp internet files). No change. Installed XP SP3. No change.

Re firefox, I need to check with BT if their BT Yahoo! Broadband icon can run under firefox.
