Why can I not access certain web sites?

When accessing some websites, I received the following warning:

Iexplore has caused an error in JSCRIPT.DLL

I'm using Windows ME and IE 5.50

Is this easily fixed?

I urgently need help! Much appreciated.

I have had all the problems most of you have experienced and have tried all the solutions...some work for a short period others not at all. This solution seems to work the longest. RESET my cable modem...NOT restart or power down. Some have battery backup, so you need to do a 30 second or so RESET of the modem and you should be good to go after you disable and reenable your tcp link. Hope this helps.

I do a search on IE, I get a page with all the search results, I point to a link, I see where it will lead to, but when I click on the link it sends me else where...like E-Bay or some other page totally unrelated to my original search! Why!?

I have finally resolved my issue with about 30% of my Firefox Bookmarks, not being accessible. After reading about 13 pages of comments and suggestions, here, and two weeks of trying everything I could, it all came down to my refusal to update Windows XP with “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)”. Once I installed the update, everything was back to normal.
I was going to start deleting Hotfix’s and other Windows updates as others have suggested, but decided to try this first. I’m glad I did, this was driving me crazy.
I hope this helps someone.

I am having a similar problem. I work on ebay, and just this morning found out that it does not work anymore. And other sites like Paypal also does not work, while many other work.

I have tried all the solutions posted here, changed MTU, verified "hosts" file, deleted all "Temp Internet Files/Cookies," installed a diffferent browser (firefox), changed the DNS settings from automatically to entering it manually, and nothing has worked for me. I have DSL from AOL, and my desktop as well as my laptop with wireless both do not work for some websites.
This is very frustrating given the fact that my earnings depend upon ebay.

Does anyone have any new suggestions? I really need to fix this as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.

I finally solved this frustrating problem.
Like I said, I had tried eveything mentioned here and none had worked for me.
So what I did was, I shut down my computer, then followed the power cable of the DSL modem, and unplugged it from the electrical shocket. I waited for a minute, then plugged it back and waited for about 5 minutes for the modem to get back on, then I re-started my computer and voila! it worked.
I suggest you try this (restarting/resetting your modem) solution first before making any changes to your computer.
I hope it works.

HELP - same problem as listed above for last 5 days. To make it more interesting can't use our wireless router/ connection with our ps3 OR hd-dvd player (strange we can use the web for a small % of our favourites). Making me suspect the router - spent 5 hours with our technical support. Any ideas?

I already disabled the computer's firewall and it made no difference. From the wireless I can ping any site without any problem, but when I try to access IE says "Web site found, Waiting for reply" but it never shows it (until time out). With my ethernet connection i can access perfectly any page. What do you think that could be the problem? Thank you. Miguel

i've had an issue with a particular rpg website... "shimlar.org" when i go to this website there is an Enter the Game link and once you access this link you can login. my problem begins here. it seems as if some days there is no problem getting to this log screen, but quite often i can't. i try deleting my temp files, cookies ect... and i'm left clueless on how to solve this problem.
I have a 56k connections (connects and 33.6kbps)
i use standard IE for all my browsing and i have no other internet programs...
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
