    When I go to certain webpages I get permission denied errors, error did not occur before installing xpsp2. When to microsoft and found the following, but cannot find the automatic configuration file.

    "If you use Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6 with an automatic configuration (.ins) file that includes custom zone settings, you may receive "Access denied" or "Permission denied" scripting error messages while you browse some Web sites. If you remove zone customization from the automatic configuration file, the problem does not occur. " :mad:

    XP SP2 'hardened' your browser some by setting stricter security. Mostly blocking things that could harm your PC.

    You should be able to go into your security settings and lower the ones for the internet zone and stop the errors. However, you will be making your PC more vulnerable to attack.

    I'm moving this to the security section.

    Do you happen to know what these websites were attempting?
    For you to have the problem that is described on this page, you may have these conditions.

    The automatic configuration file defines custom trusted sites.
    The Web address that you access belongs to the Trusted Sites zone.
    The Web page that you access includes frames. The scripting error messages occur when cross-frame scripting is used. For example: top.document.frames(1) is called from frame(0).

    Since this is the Trusted Zone in question here, it would not be a bad idea to run Ad-Aware and Spybot on your computer. Be sure to update them after installing, the install files aren't always uptodate.
    You'll find where to get them at the Quicklinks below.
