I tend to get this message often here on the Jolt forums.

What are your operating system and browser?

Windows 2000 Professional - I.E. 6.0

I don't think I see this on my home computer that uses Windows XP, but on the other hand, my home computer isn't set up to throw up the development environment whenever it sees an error.

I used to get those all the time when I was using IE on a pre-XP version of Windows. Don't know what causes them, but I know they've been reported here before.
Best advice I can give you is to get a decent browser. (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/)

Windows 2000 Professional - I.E. 6.0
You should at the very least get the latest Service Pack Upgrades to IE. SP1 moves you to "Version"="6.0.2800.1106". Can't hurt, might help.

I stopped typing after I hit the minor version number. Technically the exact version is 6.0.2800.1106CO. The annoying part is I have a higher level of security set on my work computer. (Originally it was set to not allow active X, and I have it set to prompt. In either case I get a pop up box.) Now I have to check which box it is because sometimes I need to say "YES" but for this case I never want to start the debugger.

There's a possibility that a 3rd party IE plugin is causing this, rather than IE itself. Try scanning with Spybot Search and Destroy, or examining the entries listed in HijackThis. Both can be obtained through google.com.

If you have any "special" toolbars installed in IE, they may be the culprit.
