Whenever a search is performed on my website from Internet Explorer 6, Avant, or Maxthon, there is an error (see attached picture: sorry, have to black out the web address, only way company will allow me to post here).

This error does not occur in Firefox 2 or 3. This is used in a company that has based nearly all of their web apps on Internet Explorer 6 and IE7 is banned from being installed, so, for this web app to continue, it really has to be compatible with IE6 or a browser that mimics IE6 (e.g. Opera, Avant).

The Microsoft Internet Explorer error message says, "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.example.com/?=search/node/example. Operation Aborted."

Then when I, or anyone else here, clicks on "OK" it goes to a "The page cannot be displayed" page.

I have to get this fixed or I'm afraid that this site will have to be moved to a different platform or, worse, taken down completely.

i think you are using javascript in this page and this error is related to swfobject and ie bug
see these:

http://drupal.org/node/236003

in your code where swfobject is called:

<script type="text/javascript">

must changed to:

<script type="text/javascript" defer="true">

Yah, I meant to put a "q" in there where you have it. My typing isn't very good first thing in the day, sorry.

I have also noticed that this seems to have started up shortly after installing the Shoutbox module.

And, it is also happening in IE7.

Ok, so I'm pretty new to this, so where do I get to line 882 to change this code? This only happens when we try to use the search function.

Would this problem be fixed if I just upgraded to version 6.2 (which looks like a daunting task in it's own)? I have no idea where to even start to edit this code.

Considering the time elapsed between now and the last comment plus the fact that D5 is no longer supported, I am closing this ticket.
