I never had this problem, since I began using Windows 7 and IE 8, in Oct. A few weeks ago, I downloaded a windows update, for compatiblity, and now, I am having the problem. I uninstalled the upadate and now I am fine.

yes that would be the compatibility view update Richard, i uninstalled also and like you ,the problem was solved

Try this.
In IE-Tools-Internet Options-Advanced tab, uncheck the box "Enable memory protection to mitigate online attacks" under "Security". Also, under "Browsing", uncheck "Disable Script debugging (IE)" and "Disable script debugging (others)".

I guess that did it. I still wonder why it was just that site, or was it just the only one using that script I've ran across?
Thanks Bill :)
