I wouldn't be too concerned about it. It's more than likely a script error within the Poker game program that she's playing that's causing the 1009 error message. Try disabling [unchecking] Script Debugging under Advanced Options in IE and see if the message stops. Or look for another Poker game program. :-)

Anne

Good idea about trying another browser. Also, she has been playing this site's games for a long, long time on her other (XP) computer without issue, before she got this new 'puter.

Her new computer/program may have options checked by default that weren't checked in XP. As I recall...when I had XP...the debugging option wasn't checked/activated under advanced options in IE. I had to manually activate it when I needed it. MS has tightened up a lot of things since the XP days. Some are noninvasive to our usage. Some are just plain annoying...like this particular message....but it's trying to protect the user from unwanted "travelers".

You can try another browser but chances are, if it's a program script error, a different browser will probably balk at it, too.

Possible issue,

Windows Update kb3087916 [August] is installing the DEBUG version of
Flash ActiveX into IE11 on (32-bit) Windows 8.1 systems. This version
is generating ActionScript Errors.

Forgot to mention, she said when the error appears, it locks up her computer not allowing her to do anything. To shut it down, she has to press and hold the power button.

"Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Installed Updates and click on kb3087916 and then click uninstall.

See if problem goes away

Windows will keep trying to install this update , so go into control panel/windows update and select the "Download updates but let me choose" option. Windows will not then automatically install updates that cause problems should then give you the option of unchecking the problem one."

You're welcome, you should not be receiving any type of "Action Script errors" so I did a bit more research and it seems only the (DEBUG version of
Flash ) from what I understand can generate an "Action Script Error"

Thanks for posting the full error and the operating system :)

Thanks. Should I still update Flash, then do the uninstall of the KB mentioned above? My mother said her computer did some Windows Auto Updates the other day. After that, it seems the errors began.

My mother is not computer savvy and won't know to not choose the download update or even what it means if she has to choose. She doesn't absorb info that I try to teach her so uninstalling it only for it to reappear or ask her to choose, may not be an option for her.

I suspect this problem will be resolved by yet another up date, so if mom wants to play poker this weekend another browser might be an option, although it's an option I don't like because mom is use to ie 11 and the last thing she needs is another browser. What I would do is uninstall the up-date only and see how it goes from there.

Others may have a better idea.

I'll update after applying things ideas. Thx.

I uninstalled the kb3087916 which reverted back to an older Flash 18.0.0.0 or something like that. She will still get auto updates due to her not knowing what to do if I have her choose updates. BTW: I checked her Flash version before the uninstall and it had the lasted version with the work "DEBUG VERSION" next to it.

Told my mom to inform me if the error appears and when Windows does an update again. If the issue reappears after another install of kb3087916 but not before, it IS that install. Whether Windows is aware of the error, I don't know, so I wonder when they learn of it, how soon a fix will come.

BTW, I tried unclicking Script Debugging in IE advanced options suggested by Anne. After do so, a message came up in Mom's game site about debugging (didn't write it down), obviously due to my unclick. Didn't want mom to have to do any more steps being computer illiterate, so I went back and clicked it, leaving it that way. Hope that makes sense.

I am concerned that she does not have updated Flash since I "hear" this is one way scammers and such find their way to screw with computers. She accesses her bank info on this computer. Thoughts?

Reinstall flash now,

You can download the latest Flashplayer and updates from http://get.adobe.co/flashplayer Please uncheck any optional offers before downloading.

Let us know

I agree wholeheartedly with zep. Reinstall Flash to the latest version ASAP. I'm still convinced the problem exists within the poker game app itself and no amount of MS or Flash tweaking is going to fix it. As a matter of fact...it would seem that MS is doing everything in its power to warn of the problem.

Here is a link to all MS approved and free card games. I didn't go through the whole list but perhaps there's a poker game there that your mother would enjoy without all this angst. If not poker...there certainly are a myriad of other card games. As a matter of fact...I may revisit this site myself when I have time. :-)

When I typed in the link, it said that Flash Player is integrated with Win8 and I do not need to install it. So, the link does not give me an install current version option.

Do I need to completely uninstall then reinstall from the adobe site (though Adobe Flash is NOT listed in the programs - I looked). Will this have an affect on the integration with Win8?

You're right,

Flash Player is integrated with Internet Explorer in Windows 8.
You do not need to install Flash Player.

Not sure how to proceed just yet except anne Ideas.

And see here https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html

It appears the only way to update flash is through a Windows update. I just checked her updates and the latest flash (the KB# I uninstalled) is ready to install. By installing it, we're back to square one.

Edit, well, I installed the KB again (the one I uninstalled). Told mom to give me updates. Not sure if there is a setting within Flash plug-in that I may have set wrong or not at all. Couldn't find anything. Uggg.
