As you view web pages, the files and pictures associated with those pages are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder on your computer. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen because Internet Explorer can open them from your computer instead of from the web. Increasing the space that is set aside for this folder can increase how fast previously visited pages are displayed, but it decreases the amount of space available for other files on your computer. You can choose how much space is set aside for temporary Internet files and you can delete the files that are currently saved in that space.



To set the space allowed for temporary Internet files follow these steps:



1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

2. On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Settings.

3. In Disk space to use, set the maximum amount of disk space allowed for temporary Internet files. It is recommended setting this somewhere between 50 and 250 megabytes (MB).

4. Click OK twice.



To delete temporary Internet files, follow these steps:



1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

2. On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Delete.

3. Click Delete files, and then click Yes.

4. Click Close, and then click OK.



In most cases, you can ignore them. Script error messages are displayed by Internet Explorer when there is a problem with the Javascript or VBScript code on the website you are viewing. Occasionally a script error can be caused by an error in downloading a webpage, but more often it is an error in the webpage itself. To be sure it isn't an error in downloading, refresh the webpage by clicking the Refresh(F5) button . If the error persists, and you are not a developer testing a website, you should click No to ignore the error.To avoid script errors in the future, you can turn off script debugging in Internet Explorer. Script error debugging is turned off by default. Follow these steps to make sure it is truned off:



1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

2. Click the Advanced tab.

3. In the Settings list, under Browsing, select Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer) and Disable Script Debugging (Other), and then click OK.



Active content (for example, things like stock tickers, video, or animation) can enhance your browsing experience. It relies on either ActiveX controls or computer code (called a script) to work properly. ActiveX controls can sometimes malfunction or display content that you don’t want. They can also be used to collect information from your computer without your permission, damage information on your computer, install software without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only install these programs if you completely trust the publisher. When you encounter a webpage that is trying to run active content on your computer, you should receive a message prompting you to decide whether you want to allow the content to run. If you are certain that you want to allow the active content, click Yes in the message box. By clicking Yes, you allow the active content to run on the webpage. If you leave the page and return to it later, you will receive the message again. You can avoid being prompted every time by allowing any website to run scripts and ActiveX controls, however you should be extremely careful about doing this, as it might put your computer at risk for malicious software.



Follow these steps to allow any website to run scripts and ActiveX controls on your computer:



1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

2. Click the Advanced tab, and then, in the Settings list, scroll down to the Security section.

3. Select the Allow active content to run in files on My Computer check box, and then click OK.



You can also download and install Firefox. Firefox does not have as many issues with running scripts like IE does. You can have two browsers (or more) installed on your computer and you can use either one. I use Firefox for sites that I know IE has problems displaying. You could do the same with MySpace. Your connection can also slow things down. If you are on dial up, it will take longer for a page to load that has a lot of graphics, videos or music, than it would with cable or dsl. There are tweaks that you can do to speed up your connection. Seeing how you did not list your connection type, I'm not sure what tweaks to tell you.



I hope this helps.

Well you could begin by taking a look at the type of computer, internet, and hardware. I'm sure people could help more with that info. Anyways, start with a power down for everything, including the modem and computer, and unhook your ethernet cable. This does involve the router, if you have one. Wait a few minutes, then plug the modem back in. Wait for it to reset, then hook it up to the computer (or router) again. Power it up, see if it helps. If the problem persists, and you do have a router, try taking it out of the scheme and do the reset steps above. Remember, don't power up the computer until the modem is reset.

Chances are good that Myspace is having a problem with their page scripts as they're housed on their servers. If they're working on them, and have accidentally put a bad page out there, your computer isn't going to know what to do with it. You'll probably just have to wait until they finish whatever work they're doing before the pages are back to normal again, unfortunately.

pages in myspace, which usually has graphics and songs and other stuff in, loads slow because of those media. specially if you got a slow connection,.



regarding the scripts, scripts are use to play graphics and animations in the page.. some scripts can be a threat to your systems safety(more on like a virus thing type of), so internet explorer most of the time, blocks the execution of those to protect your pc. it will be now up to you if you wanna run them on your system, that is if you trust the site you are running the script from.. my space usually have safe scripts...

It's a probably a combination of something on your computer and some terribly written MySpace scripts... sounds like you basically need to clean the machine up. Computers don't "stop working" because they're old, they just get clogged up with old rubbish. It's nothing a fresh install can't solve.

Goto,

http://www.microsoft.com

and intsall, or reinstall IE7



microsoft issued a patch for a security hole in IE6, but unfortunately it conflicted with the prgam and caused browser problems.



The new IE7 has this patch already written into the program, and it does not have any conflicts.

Window's registry is propably playing up.

virus scan and also do adware and spyware scan of your computer.

or just backup your documents and format the hard drive and re install windows.

Download Mozilla Firefox Browser, open and enable it, then disable your "Internet Exploder". You'll find Firefox operates with far less issues.
