They are all DVDs except for McCartney, which is a Deluxe Edition CD with combined DVD. Keynote has only sent me two surveys and I completed them both for $10 Amazon gift certificates. I am off to the July 4th cookout, so post to your hearts' content out while I am gone! :D

Do know anything about "Internet Explorer Script Error" since you say you have a degree in computer programming?

I will only "post to my hearts' content out" when your online because then it would NOT be a fair contest.:D

I think Yahoo! Search can answer that question for me.

An Internet Explorer Script Error occurs when your web browser (Internet Explorer) experiences difficulties running a client-side script from a web site.

These scripts may be in JavaScript, JScript, or VisualBasic script.

In most cases, these errors are a result of something done by the web developer who implemented the script on the web page and there is nothing that you can do to resolve the error.

Disabling Internet Explorer Script Errors
Most of the time, Internet Exporer Script Errors are nuisances. If you are tired of seeing errors that are outside of your control, you can choose to disable these errors.

Open Internet Explorer
Open the <Tools> menu
Select the <Internet Options> menu item
Open the <Advanced> tab
Check the box next to "Disable script debugging
Remove the check next to "Display a notification about every script error"
Click the <OK> button

Repairable Causes of Internet Explorer Script Errors
In some cases, the error is something which you can change or repair on your PC. These issues include:

Java Applets, Active scripting , ActiveX controls are being blocked. This blocking can be the due to the configuration of Internet Explorer, an anti-virus programs, a PC firewall, or a network firewall.
Your anti-virus software is configured to scan your Downloaded Program Files or Temporary Internet Files folders.
The relevant scripting engine on your computer is corrupt or outdated.
Internet-related folders on your computer are corrupt.
Your video card drivers are corrupt or outdated.
DirectX is corrupt or outdated on your computer.
For information on repairing these Internet Explorer Script Errors, refer to How to Troubleshoot Script Errors in Internet Explorer.

I just saw my Internet Setting in the Advanced tab and "Disable script debugging" is checked so I have NO idea why I receive this kind of error. This error happens when I'm using this forum (expect when I'm in the Mod Control Panel), in Keynote Surveys, and in other websites while I'm surfing the internet or sometimes taking a survey.

I installed Internet Explorer 8 on my 64 bit Windows Vista machine. I keep getting error messages and such from surveys that say they don't support IE 8. Is there a way I can install a lower version of IE without getting rid of IE 8, or do I need to completely uninstall and reinstall a lower version? I also have Firefox, but many survey sites don't let you use that either. I have two versions of Internet Explorer in my "programs" but when I choose either one it takes me to the same IE 8. Has anyone else run into this problem? I've only had this computer a couple of weeks. Previously I was using my work computer for surveys. :eek:

The "sensitive" surveys (not IE 8 compatible) are usually PSA-hosted surveys. To get around the IE 8 issue, look at the line with the web address in it. Just to the right of the dropdown menu, you will probably see three buttons. The right-most button is the "X" to stop loading a page, the one in the middle should be "Refresh", the left-most button should be "Compatibility View" - If that button doesn't look like it's pressed in, push it.

That should take care of the issue.

IE 8 is definitely not compatible with quite a few survey sites, including Invoke Interactives. You need to unistall IE 8 by going to Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs, then reinstalling IE 7. I do not know of any way you can use both versions of the IE browser.
