URL Link errors

Links....

Ok, it's not just this site for me (but it does happen here), so it's obviously something with my laptop, or with IE 8 itself. Many pages that have URL links won't let me click the links. I get an error warning in the lower left corner. Details below. Any ideas?

I just noticed it on this site yesterday. It's been happening on other places for a week or two at least. After I noticed it happening, I updated to a newer javascript (Version 6 Update 17) and still had the problems. No plugings intentionally running. Just for the hell of it, I used the Internet Explorer (no add-ons) on my laptop and still get the same problems with links.

<guess since this isn't really a site support issue, feel free to move the thread>

With a little more investigation, the javascript error I quoted has nothing to do with the links not opening. There's a fair amount of stuff out there about ie8 not opening links, and fixes for that by reregistering some dll files. I keep getting error messages on some of those regsvr32 actions. Since IE8 is part of Windows 7 I can't see a way to just uninstall/reinstall IE8. I'd have to do a repair install of Windows 7 which I'd rather not do.

Microsoft sucks.
