If the iexplore error message says "52 Runtime Error", it means a fault in the JavaScript caused by bad file name or number. It means that script is unable to locate the file that it is looking for.

One more common fault in Internet Explorer is the "404 File Not Found". This means that the server is unable to locate the file that you requested. Sometimes, refreshing the page is enough to solve the problem. However, if you continue to receive the same error messages, it may mean that the page is no longer available. It could have been moved or deleted. Or you may have simple entered the incorrect URL. If that is the case, simply check the URL for misspellings and try again.

A "401 Unauthorized" error message meanwhile, means that the website server is looking for some encryption key from the client and is unable to find it. A wrong password might also cause this error.

"403 Forbidden/Access Denied" errors are similar to 401. It means that a special permission is needed to gain entry to the website. You need the correct password and username.

Another error message you may come across while using the web browser is the "408 Request Timeout." This means that the computer have stopped the request before the server is done retrieving it.
