Title: Computer problem
Post by: tomgallagher on February 15, 2013, 08:31:05 AM

Every time I pull this site up I get a little box in the middle of the screen that says "Message from webpage/object error". Has anybody ever run into this and how do you get rid of it.Very annoying.

That happened to me a couple of times on my phone. Rebooting it seemed to solve the problem.

I know, but rebooting every time is a pain in the butt.

Have you ever used Chrome?   Apparently there is an extension in Chrome that might interefere w/ IE9.

Check out this thread, it may help, hope it does:

If you've never used Chrome the bottom of the thread mentions Silverlight and Adobe programs (e.g. Acrobat Reader) may be tied to the issue.

Edited to Add:
Apologies if you've already been this route but the Google results for this search string seem like they could be helpful.  The above info is from the first hit.
"IE 9 Message from webpage/object error"

Was it "object expected"? If so, that's likely a JavaScript error. Tyler can verify if there are any known IE issues.
