IE6: I am getting the "A script on this page is causing IE to run
slowly....." error whenever I close the "My Yahoo" webpage.

From here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=175500, the applicable MS fix
is this:

open this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Styles

"Create a new DWORD value called "MaxScriptStatements" under this key
and set the value to the desired number of script statements.


By default the key doesn't exist. If the key has not been added, Internet
Explorer 4 defaults to 5,000,000 statements executed as the trigger for the
time-out dialog box.

Because the Internet Explorer 4.0, 5.0, 6, and 7 time-out is based on the
number of script statements executed, the time-out dialog box will not
display during ActiveX control or database-access delays. Endless loops in
script will still be detected."

OK, I opened the key and created the DWORD value, but it doesn't tell me
what value to give it numerically. It says IE4 is 5,000,000 statements -- is
that applicable to IE6 where it is inexact in the following paragraph?

If you know the answer to this would you please give me an example of how it
should be entered in its exact form and how it fits here:

MaxScriptStat...REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0)

Thanks

Thank you, Vincenzo,

That certainly is an in-depth thread. The only problem is that the answer to
my question is missing from the thread. At the point where the OP asks "How
do I edit the DWORD binary?" it says "Frank says" and that is all -- no
answer.

Since all I need is to change the binary value (there is no malware in my
system), could you explain the method? I have looked at insructions for
editing the binary value and all they say is to type in the number, but it
is not that straightforward. (I typed in a 5 in the middle where the cursor
defaulted and it showed up on the end of the DWORD, along with a huge number
in the parentheses). How do the zeros in the edit window match up with the
zeros in the DWORD?

Thanks,
pflu
