I repaired xp professional sp2, downloaded sp3, downloaded all updates. when i close down system information (msinfo32.exe) I now get an internet explorer popup stating

"an error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 60
char: 3
code: 0
url://system/sysinfo/msinfo.htm
 
also Help and Support Center does not contain any options under" Pick a help topic".

 I ran malwarebytes,dr web cruet.superantispyware,spybot search and destroy and found no problems.
 
I reconfigured script debugging to DISABLE script debugging & debugging other. Unchecked script error notification. I reset security level to default.
 
I found on microsoft knowledge base KB909889 - "Active controls may not load as expected in internet explorer due to defence in depth changes introduced in cumulative security update 896688 (ms05-052)" It explained exactly the problem i was having. As suggested i added the information to the register. I tried several other suggestions but nothing has solved the problem. Hope you can help.U could also try fixing the present Win. Boot from the Win CD and do like if u were going to a install. DO NOT USE THE REFORMAT OPTION. Just follow instructions and it will get to a fix this install option. Choose this option and like it run. It will take about 30 mins for this fix. It would be great if u could find a Win CD SP3 to preform this fix. if not a SP2 will work. U might have to down load IE 7 again and reinstall it. Write back and let us know?I have ALREADY used the repair option from my Windows XP professional CD disk with sp2. Then i down loaded sp3 and all the updates. I didn't mention i also downloaded explorer IE8. MAYBE i should go back to IE7 and see if that corrects the problem.Yeap, let do that and see WHATS happens.I SWITCHED back to IE7 but it didn,t help. I still get the script error in windows system information and nothing in the left pane in help and support center  so i switched back to IE8.Can you tell us what was wrong to begin with before you fix it the first time?

I was trying to to go to windows update. I kept getting can not display the page. the same with other web sites. I tried a number of fixes nothing worked. Then i did a repair install with my xp professional with sp2 disk and then i could down load sp3 and the updates again. After doing that i started getting this and other problems. In help and support i either the left pane is blank or iif hit has something they don't work. In divice managers trouble shooter i get an activex popup and it won't let me go any further. I hate to dump all these but i am at my wits end.
