I was a big believer in Firefox, had it for a browser since about 2005. Then about a year ago I started experiencing script error a lot, especially on this website (TOTV).

My golfing partner still works, he teaches accounting software, so he knows his way around a computer. One day he stopped by and saw me on my laptop and I asked him about the problem. He said he used Google Chrome for a browser. I downloaded Chrome a few days later, I was even able to change the appearance so it looked like my Firefox. I found it even easier to use and no more script errors. It really paid for itself, when about a couple of months later my 4 year old laptop crashed. It went totally black and wouldn't come on.

I bought a new all in one 21" HP computer, which was loaded with IE. I spent a day just trying to find all my important bookmarks and passwords and managed to maybe get about 15 established. Then I downloaded Chrome and to my amazement, all of my bookmarks (500 hundred or more), which some I had added years ago and forgot about, were all still there. It somehow stores all my info online so my information was all there as if nothing happened.

John.... I have tried chrome on my previous computer and the reason you like it I dislike it.....it stores to much info. of everyone without asking.....If the error continues or gets worse I may try it though

Since it is W8.1, try looking up the problem at Windows 8 Forums.

If you cannot find an answer, join and post the question. I am pretty sure that they will be able to help. They had done great assistance with the W10 product at Windows 10 Forums.

Here's how i troubleshoot and maybe you have done this already.

Install chrome. When you get the error message in IE go to chrome, copy and past or retype exactly what is says in the google search bar. Than click on Search Tools, anytime and 1 year.

You could follow the same method starting with youtube.
