IE Script Error in OE when trying to print

I did it and that didn't stop it either. Given the hundreds of posts I found
about this on the web it seems to be something much more pernicious.

What's next? I'll keep looking on the web.

One of last week's patches was a Cumulative Security Update for IE
(MS05-025, KB883939). If your anti-virus application was running in the
background (or you had other IE windows open) when this update was
installed, you may have gotten a "dirty" install which may be causing the
problem.

Try this:

With your AV app and all other applications closed, uninstall 'Security
Update for Windows XP (KB883939)' via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

In the same environment, go to Windows Update, download/install KB883939
again and reboot.

To assure a clean install, your anti-virus application should be disabled
and all other running processes closed before installing/uninstalling
anything, including Windows Updates.

This is goofy. I cannot see that Hotfix with Add/REmove programs or a third
party uninstaller I have. I went to Windows Update and it scanned my machine
and found no updates. Now what? Can't uninstall if I can't see and I'm not
sure how to force it to the surface.

What is your advice, please?

I can see this file in Explorer

$NtUninstallKB883939$

It is obviously there, but Add/Remove Programs doesn't see it. Do I just
delete this, or is that a recipe for disaster?

Found it. Thank you, never noticed that button before. It didn't help. I
uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing.

What's next? There are some hairy Registry fixes out on the web--far beyond
my comfort level. What in the world might cause this? I have downloaded
many, many Windows updates in the past with nothing like this. So, maybe the
update isn't it. Obviously, the reinstall didn't do it.

I've tried everything you've suggested and a bunch of other stuff that other
folks have offered from other sources. I did Sys Restore finally to before
the updates last week. No help at all. I doubt whether printer drivers are
responsible--no one else has gotten rid of this thing by reinstalling them.
I can print just fine from IE or any other application I try. It is only
emails in OE that give the error. This is clearly a MS issue and it needs to
be escalated up the ladder to them to get help. Can an MVP get their
attention? Nobody else seems able to do it.

Unless you have another idea---I think I'll try to boot in Safe Mode and see
it that gets around it. Let you know what happens.

I had the same problem which was fixed by a suggestion in OE newsgroup
which I have copied whole:

************************************************
Re: Outlook Express Printing Problem
For the benefit of others here and archiving, the purported fix is:

<QP>
Solution: From a Win2000 machine export these files from the registry
and
import on the machine with the print problem/script error. These work on
both 2000 and WinXP.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

In the next reply, a poster wrote:

I didn't have another Windows machine to export from, so I added the

Now, what in the world "breaks" these keys in the first place?

Printer drivers? Did you install any driver updates that were offered by

Let's try doublechecking what you have at that line in your version
of that module.

E.g. enter in the Address bar of an IE window:
res://shdoclc.dll/preview.dlg
and do a View Source of the result.

Assuming that opens up a Notepad window make sure
that Word Wrap is unchecked (e.g. in Format menu)
and Status Bar is checked (e.g. in View menu)

Next scroll to line 1344 and see what's there.
E.g. here is what I have from 1338 to 1344 inclusive:

<example>
function CPrintDoc_InitDocument( fUseStreamHeader )
{
var fReallyUseStreamHeader = (fUseStreamHeader && (dialogArguments.__IE_OutlookHeader != null));
this._anMerge[1] = (fReallyUseStreamHeader) ? 1 : 0;
this._nStatus = (fReallyUseStreamHeader) ? 0 : 1;
this.AddFirstPage();
this._aaRect[this._nStatus][0].contentSrc = (fReallyUseStreamHeader)
</example>

FWIW

No--the printer drivers are from HP and are the latest they have-April, 2004.
And, they were installed under the phone supervision of someone from their
Printer Advanced Support Group since there was a problem I couldn't fix when
I set up this new machine and installed the printer--it was a scanning issue
and he got it fixed. For two months everything worked fine until this came
up.

Note the other posts--the scary Registry fix has shown up. Do you recommend
I try it??

okay--this is what I have--I hope it's the correct line number set--I have no
numbers indicated in the source so I just found the first line and matched it
to your post. It seems that I have two extra lines--one having something to
do with Outlook, which I do not have on my computer; and , the next one
about a URL entry.
Is this the problem??? Picked these two lines up from God knows Where!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function CPrintDoc_InitDocument( fUseStreamHeader )
{
var fReallyUseStreamHeader = (fUseStreamHeader &&
(dialogArguments.__IE_OutlookHeader != null));
this._anMerge[1] = (fReallyUseStreamHeader) ? 1 : 0;
this._nStatus = (fReallyUseStreamHeader) ? 0 : 1;
this.AddFirstPage();
this._aaRect[this._nStatus][0].contentSrc = (fReallyUseStreamHeader)
? dialogArguments.__IE_OutlookHeader
: this._strDocURL;

Bear, this is all well and good but I don't know how to put these in the
Registry. Do I copy them? I tried to find them in my Registry with and I
can't them. That's the problem, I'm just a simpleminded old man who wants to
print email messages and I have no experience at this stuff.

I don't even know what he means when after a key he puts"@blahblahblah.."
What does that mean?? Search for that term in the Registry?

Can somebody please help me to learn how to do this?

jj have followed this thread closely, have experienced the exact same
problem, believe that MS nust be aware and working the issue, because of
their total lack of addressing the issue anywhere on ms.com

This is how I did it: Copy the following starting at REGEDIT4 using a
text editor (and rejoin each line so that each HKEY item is a single
line) and save as say printer.reg then follow the instructions in the
comments line. Make sure you back up the registry before you do this!

; in Windows Explorer to add these entries to registry.

Hi Thomas,

Seems your post helped fix the problem.

I was running a parallel discussion with him in email suggesting various
things and also KB articles and nothing worked. Then he pointed me to this
thread he'd started.

The registry keys were applicable to stuff going on in ole32.dll, as you can
see reading through them.

I suggested he just go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 ole32.dll

And he's reported to me in email that that fixed it.

He also said I should be an MVP. <VBG>

cheers,

steve

Try going to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 ole32.dll

See if that fixes it. It seems to have for him.

Here's the answer folks! Courtesy of Steve Cochrane, MS MVP--

Try going to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 ole32.dll

See if that makes any difference.

In OE make sure under Tools | Options | Maintenance that there is no option
checked at the bottom for troubleshooting.

Thank you Steve! I hope the hundreds of others bedeviled by this thing find
this fix!
