Script Errors for only one user?

All of a sudden, I'm trying to view a web page, but I get nothing but script
errors. such as:

Line: 59
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Code: 0
URL: http://Webserver/page.htm

Odd thing is, this only happens to one user account on this pc. All others
(i.e. Administrator, Bob, etc..) work fine. No errors. I really need to
view this site, how can I fix this?

Already cleared out cache/history/temp files. I really DO NOT want to have
to re-install windows XP just because one user is having a problem.

Thanks

While logged on as that user:
Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Check the box to Disable script debugging.
Uncheck the box to Display a notification about every script error.

No, none of that worked.

Forgot to mention, that when user 'X' is using IE6, both of the 'Disable
Script Debugging' boxes are checked. 'Display a notification of every script
error' is unchecked. So, I'm still getting these error messages, even after
I set IE6 up to not show errors.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks
 
Could you view source at line 59 char and tell us what's causing the error?
I'm wonderinh how this could only be issue for one user (with different
permissions)

I suspect the maximum you should have to do is build a new user profile
for that user.

A possible scenario which you might be able to detect using RegMon
would be that there are overriding settings installed in HKCS values
which the other users don't have (e.g. using RegMon and filtering on
"NOTFOUND" might be sufficient for you to detect a difference in that
regard) since the override would be found and would be missing in the
trace of the problem user but present (i.e. NOTFOUND) in traces of the
other users. Or vice versa (e.g. the other users have installed something
that this user hasn't). Etc.
