Win 2000proSP3 with IE5.5SP2 and working perfectly.

Downloaded and installed the latest IE security update
Q822925.

In Windows help, opened a subject and clicked on 'related
topics'.

Box pops up 'An error has occurred in the script on this
page.' and no menu available.

Uninstalled Q822925 and working OK again.
 
Was not corrected by upgrading to IE6SP1.

Q822925 (different version for IE6) still introduced the
script error in Windows help.

Service Pack 4 has fixed it. (SP4 seems to replace much of
the OS.)

It seems to be connected with this:
