How to Fix Errors on Page After Updating Internet Explorer 7

Regardless of your Windows operating system, Microsoft has probably urged you to take advantage of the free upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 (IE7). IE7 works well with Windows Vista operating systems for the most part. However, if you operate Windows 2000 or XP, you may come across "fix errors on page" messages when loading websites.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Experience problems with Internet Explorer 7 right off the bat, and it may be due to installation problems. Make sure you reboot twice after installing the new browser.
2. Download any updates for IE7. Check the Microsoft website for recommended updates if you don't have automatic updates turned on for your computer.
3. Check your add-ons, those "extras" like ActiveX controls for your browser, if you still experience problems. After accessing "manage add-ons" through the "Tools" menu in your browser window, disable all add-ons, and try browsing. If you can successfully browse without errors on the page, then one of your add-ons may be the culprit. Enable add-ons one at a time and try browsing. Once you find the problem, delete it or update the add-on to work with Internet Explorer 7.
4. Contact Microsoft if a website denies permission for entering when it shouldn't. It could be a problem with document.domain property or the protocols of the URLs not matching.
5. Update and run the most recent version of JavaScript. JavaScript is a scripting language used on many websites.
6. Adjust security settings in the browser if you still experience page error messages. Select the "Tools" menu and access "Internet Options." Under the "Security" tab, choose "Custom Level" to pull up the security settings window and review for possible problems.
