Need Information on an IE5.5 Registry Key

Hey All

I have a re-occurring problem here at the company. I have found a solution to fix it, but I would still like to know why it is happening.

Basically the users get and error inside Internet Explorer, when the script tries to access a record set.

" Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal. "

The way to remove this error is to delete the following Registry Setting.

\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International\cpMRU "“ REG_BINARY "“ cache

It is a MostRecentlyUsed Key, but i don't know what the cp could stand for.

The point of most interest is that the binary value it contains is what is causing the error. When I change this value to the same value as a working user/machine it works fine.

Also this value is DYNAMIC it always changes. When I change the value back the problem will re-occur again a few days later (Maybe other webapp they are using)

Our SOE is Windows NT 4.0 SP6a running IE 5,50,4522,1800.

Does anyone here know what this key is responsible for, I can't seem to find anything online about it.

Cheers

CP looks like it may stand for Code Page, since there are a couple of other values under \International related to Code Page.

I have no idea what the cache is related to. You "could" try setting the Enable field to zero (disable) and see if everything continues to work.

 

Yes that is how I have been fixing users for a longer amount of time. (Setting enable to 0)

However because this is HKEY users, if the users profile is deleted from the local machine it is re-created to the default setting of enable=1.

I am investigation the codepage possibility now, i think you are right in saying this is what cp stands for.

Maybe there is a way (Policy/Setting) to disable this feature for the Local machine.

Thanks
