Error: 54 Unspecified error. This is on Windows Server 2003. As you can see in the screenshot, the error isn't specifying the line or URL so it's not giving me much to go on. windows-server-2003 service share|improve this question asked Nov 5 '09 at 13:33 Dave Forgac 2,19142844 Try accessing it from another computer and see if you have the same problem. If you don't, then I'd say it's an interface problem and not a server problem. Have you recently updated the server (like installing IE8)? Have you rebooted the server? –joeqwerty Nov 5 '09 at 13:40 Reboot: Yes. Update: No. IE install: No. –Dave Forgac Nov 5 '09 at 13:55 I later found that the user had upgraded the system to IE8 immediately before this problem started. Reverting to IE7 didn't correct the problem however. –Dave Forgac Jan 19 '10 at 4:07 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted I found the IE 8 wasn't fully installed. It had supposedly installed with a group of Windows Updates. I even got the IE Welcome dialog but when I checked About it was IE 7. I did the download from MS but I'm not sure what actually kicked off the IE 8 Installation. Once IE 8 installed my error when away. share|improve this answer answered Sep 29 '10 at 15:45 user55645 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote To fix this issue download and install the lastest IE8 from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx and do not remove anything before doing so share|improve this answer answered Jan 21 '10 at 5:08 Syd add a comment| up vote 0 down vote I don't know if this helps, but here is a few explanations about what error 54 is on windows. # for decimal 54 / hex 0x36 : DEVICE_REFERENCE_COUNT_

Mr.HopelessTopic StarterRookie IE Script Error - http://serverfault.com/questions/81722/error-in-services-msc-error-54-unspecified-error opens as a pop-up for many programs « on: February 15, 2009, 04:35:41 PM » Ever since installing an updated Norton Internet Security (2008) last fall, I've had this annoying pop-up come up for many programs. It says it is an Internet Explorer Script Error. It says "An error has occurred in the script on this page." It does not list any Line, Char, Error, Code, http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?topic=76987.0 or URL information. "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?" Clicking either the Yes or No box does not remove the box, only clicking the red X on the top right does. And when this happens, there are a few dozen boxes that pop up at the same time so I need to close all of the boxes.This seems to happen for many programs when a message box is supposed to come up. For example, if I have received now mail on Microsoft Outlook, I am notified by getting dozens of these pop-ups instead of just a single message notifying me that I have new mail. When I go to the Norton Help & Support on the Norton Internet Security program, I also get these pop-ups. I can't even put my cursor over the registration submittal box for H&R Block Tax Cut without getting these boxes, and when I clear them on this program, a fresh batch pops up right away, so I can't even get passed the registration page and do my taxes!I cannot do a System Restore, since when I run System Restore, I only get a blank System Restore win

following error when trying to open the services console. This may be affecting the Microsoft Update site as it won't download any updates. Just says installation failed. Plus this may be affecting Access 2002. It gives an error "a problem occurred while microsoft access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX control" when opened. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch. An Error has occurred in the script on this page.

Then use View Source (Alt-V,c). Assuming that opens in Notepad make sure that Word Wrap is unchecked (Alt-o,W) and then that Status bar is checked (Alt-,V,S) Then scroll down to line 30 column 12 (as specified by the error message). When I do that in XPsp2 with mmcndmgr.dll --a-- W32i DLL ENU 5.1.2600.2180 shp 1,192,960 08-04-2004 I see: ViewPanel.addBehavior("#default#mmcview"); Since that is in the OnLoad() function my guess would be that your IE security settings are too tight. DependencyWalker shows that that module has a DllRegisterServer entry point so you could also try re-registering it. E.g. Run... regsvr32 mmcndmgr.dll Good luck Robert Aldwinckle --- Robert Aldwinckle, Jul 12, 2005 #2 Advertisements Show Ignored Content Want to reply to this thread or ask your own question?
