Great for use in datacenters, NOCs, meeting rooms, reception, or kiosks.
Runs as a stand-alone program or Screen Saver and optionally prompts for a password in order to close. Capable of displaying anything Internet Explorer can such as HTML, ASP, XML, PHP, Java, JPG, GIF, TXT, SWF/Flash, Shockwave, and much more.

c:\directory\page1.htm, 12
w:\directory\page2.htm, 20
or pages can be referenced by URL...
http://example.com/page1.htm, 5

On the last tab "Advanced" under the "Browsing" section check both:
[X] Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)
[X] Disable script debugging (Other)
Also ensure this is not checked:
[ ] Display a notification about every script error
If you still continue to get script errors, try this...
Open regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
Rename the key name to: AeDebug_disabled
