This is as much for future reference as anything: I hope some of this helps?įurther to our conversation about script errors I am sending a summary of things to try to resolve this that I’ve found in our database.
I also got the following info back from SW. This is all OK, but the PC's hard-disk's have a Raid 1 configuration, and I didnt want to mess about with re-installing XP incase the raid array would work properly afterwards ( I'm new to Raid !). If that didnt work to try going back to a early restore point of XP, or a repair or re-install. Their suggestion was to remove XP SPK2, re-apply XP2 SPK1a. ( mmmm but did they test the help files in SW? ).

I had also fixed the error years ago on a NT6.0 PC by un-installing IE, clean un-installing SW, re-installing SW, and then re-installing IE, and this fixed it. I think it used to be caused by not having an up to date version of IE, or not having a certain DLL file in Windows. I have seen this problem several times in the past. It also has the following information, Error : Object dosent support the property or method. And has a large yellow exclaimation icon. The error appears inside a window with the title "Internet Explorer Script Error". On some help pages it dosent do it, but if you click on to one of the hyperlinks, it then outputs the error. From the SWHelp menu, go to the SWHelp option, and when the help window launches, the error appears. Hello, Has anyone encountered a problem when they open their SWhelp file (Solidworks.chm)? This can happen on any version of SW, and its linked to Internet Explorer.
