MS script debugger hangs in XP

[bthale]

I just got a new laptop with XP. Had Win2000. Now when I try ot step or run with the script debugger, it just hangs and I have to close the debugger and the browser. I tried installing the latesst, but it was the same. Anybody have this problem?

Runs fine for me on an IBM Thinkpad T42 with XP Pro.

Do you actually get into the script debugger successfully, and see the script you are trying to debug?

I had similar probelms with the script debugger under Win98. I finally just gave it up as a bad job and uninstalled it.

Dan, yes I can open the debugger and see the script. I put on stops and such, but when I try to step through, it hangs. I tried several places in code, so I could eliminate possible bad code, but it hangs everywhere.

Can we assume that the script only hangs when in the debugger... or rather the debugger hangs on any script, not just the one you're trying to debug?

I'm trying to ascertain if it is the debugger or your script at fault.

I am only running it against one web application, but we have javascript all over and approx 30 separate files that are included in various pages. I have placed stops in several different places and the debugger hangs in all of them. I have reinstalled but get the same problems. After I got the new laptop, I installed scd10en.exe, then later installed scripten.exe. Maybe I should have installed scripten.exe first, although I'm not sure if they are related.

This is from Microsoft site about scripten.exe
