About this tag
Script errors on Windows can appear during startup, while browsing, or when running system tools. Common causes include problematic browser scripts, corrupted system files, or malware. Users report persistent script error dialogs in Internet Explorer, even with script debugging disabled. Some errors reference specific files like run.vbs, indicating possible infection or system corruption. Troubleshooting steps include clearing browser cache, resetting Internet Explorer settings, running antivirus scans, and using System Restore. In some cases, restoring a registry backup resolved the issue. Script errors can also affect system performance, causing slow response and unresponsive programs.

    Windows 10 Computer is awful right now

    each site says" not responding due to a long running script, also computer is slow, seems so much is going wrong. When I type a e-mail the letters come up later and the cursor is all over the place or it will say for example MSN is not responding. Also I am not computer savvy at all.
