Runtime errors in IE caused by Installing Office 2003

After installing Office 2003, I started getting Runtime errors in Internet
Explorer

Error: A runtime error has occured. Do you wish to debug?Line 359
Error: object expected

The same thing happened a few months ago, I would get runtime errors and
then after about 30 min or so, I would lose my internet connection for IE,
yet outlook express still worked. I would then reboot the computer and IE
would again have an internet connection for a while.

I kept trying to figure out what was causing it, so I recently did a repair
installation for XP using the XP CD. IE worked perfectly for many many
hours, I didn't once lose my internet connection. I then upgraded to SP1
again, since the repair install caused that to be overwritten. Then I
reinstalled Office 2003, since the repair install also messed that up. I ran
a repair install of Office 2003 not the fresh install.

Now the runtime errors have returned, and I assume that I'll start losing my
internet connection for IE again. Although it's not yet happened since I've
just recently reinstalled Office and enough time hasn't elaspsed.

How can I get rid of these runtime errors and fix IE after a Office 2003
install?

Hi Gerry,

In Internet Explorer use Tools=Options=Advanced
and turn off the setting for the debugger. Installing
Office updates will sometimes turn that setting back on.

I turned off the debugger, but I'm again losing my internet connection after
a period of time, this time it took several hours. So there must be
something in Office 2003 or possibly SP1 that's causing the IE problem

Any suggestions?

All I really need is Access, Word, and Frontpage. I guess I could uninstall
2003 and just install those. I have a DSL line and PIII-450, 250 meg of
ram. Is 2003 a resource hog?

Hi Gerry,

You may want to troubleshoot the connection
in one of the Internet Explorer or Windows networking
newsgroups.

The Office apps are big, but not necessarily more top heavy
than other apps.

If a dialup it can come from not disabling call waiting, or
the conditions of the phone lines or someone picking up an
extension, among other causes.
