I recently had need to use this application for the first time in a couple of weeks. When I tried to start Vegas 8, the application failed with an error:
Internet Explorer Script Error
Automation server can’t create object
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Me/Local%20Settings/Temp/udat/upsell.htm
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
Quite annoying. I tried many things including restarting the machine, uninstalling and reinstalling Vegas, Manually deleting all registry keys for the program, nothing worked.
Since this error is related to some browser related issue, I reduced all security options in IE7 to their minimum, but this also failed to resolve the issue. Finally, I uninstalled IE7. Success!

Of course, if you are afflicted with the problem called “Vista” you are pretty much screwed. There are NO visible patches or updates for this issue coming from Sony.
IE7 and IE8 are pretty much on us now, and we’ll struggle to be without them soon. Let’s just hope that these companies can get their act together and resolve the problems, before I switch to another application or platform.

Great! Awesome! This worked for me too (Start – Run – Type:’%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe’ – Uninstall).

This didnt work for me.
I went to add/remove and i dont have any version of IE listed there. I run firefox.
Ive tried all these options, and they arent working because it says IE7 never existed on my pooter in the first place. hmmmmmmmm

In reply to all, but in particular “bondo.”
Recently something broke. I have not worked out what it is, but I now have a system that does not work with this software, even without IE7. I can only suggest a recent Microsoft Update caused this issue. Currently I only have one legacy PC that works with Vegas. This is being kept not-updated so I can continue to use Vegas until my transfer to Adobe Premiere CS2 is complete.
Sony has not been forthcoming with potential problems that could cause this crash. It does seem that something is broken, yet Sony do not care. My policy of no longer buying their hardware, due to rip-off pricing, has now totally extended to all of their products.
CS2 is not a favoured program for me, but it is operational and affordable.

Thank you. I agree.
