Bing.com and a long-running script

Just lately, I have been having a frequent problem when using Bing Maps. It keeps locking up and I get a message that Bing.com isn't responding because of a long-running script. I often have to use Task Manager to kill the process (and even that isn't particularly quick to do the kill).
Any suggestions please
Thanks

i used to use Tom-Tom live traffic , but since they stopped it being "open" I have changed to Bing maps, as opposed to Google maps, because Bing does give "some" indication on the main routes, of the traffic situation, whereas Google does not..
Never had a problem such as the O.P. is having though...
EDIT EDIT EDIT 20 mins after the above ....
Just been to Bing Maps and checking traffic... i got the "unresponive script" after scrolling the map a bit, and also "magnifying" it to get closer to the traffic level,.... then it disappeared after clicking the X and also the forum disappeared too ! ..

My copies of Google maps on both a laptop and a tablet shows live traffic on most roads with info taken from the National Traffic feed. Don't you have a "traffic" button on your copy?

Do you by chance having any ad-blocking software/Ghostery addon active when visiting Bing Maps? This could be the issue as I have noticed on some sites where I block ads that the page loading icon spins for a very long time. It loads quickly when the adblocker is deactivated.

@nozzer Well, it wasn`t "obvious" ... but thanks for the headsup!... found it in that stupid "menu" icon, that looks like a loaf of sliced bread... whatever happened to using Plain Language menu`s... or even the word " Menu "..
@penneck I use Ghostrey, and an adblocker... never thought it would cause long loading times, but thanks again for info... will bear it in mind if I have problems..

This is a reply to all of you that have been good enough to reply so far.
I used to use Google Maps, but it changed to Bing Maps - I thought that it was the same thing under a different name. I don't use it for traffic details - I didn't know it could be used for that, but then my desktop doesn't work very well in my car
I'm not using an ad blocker, or not that I know of, nor do I use Ghostrey.
The problem seems to kick off when I change the scale of the map or move it around, which I believe is the same symptoms that one of you had, though I don't remember a suggested solution. I'll go back to your replies and take another look
Thanks

Just a bit more, now that I have reread the earlier replies. When I get the message about the script, I can get rid of this message by hitting the X, but Bing Maps is still frozen, hence I used Task Master to kill Bing Maps

I'm using Win 7 and Internet Explorer
Bing Maps was fine until a few weeks ago. I have now tried using their Feedback, and have given them my e-mail address, so they can contact me. Perhaps they know of this problem already, but if they do why haven't they fixed it?
Will let the forum know if I get anything from them
Cheers

I had a very similar problem with ebay a few weeks ago. But that also coincided when ebay had site problems of their own.
Maybe your problem with bing is down to a problem bing is having.
--------------------------------------------
I see what you mean. Zoomed in and out fine a couple of goes. Went to a postcode zoomed in and out a bit then.........up pops the error window.
I'm using palemoon the last one before the engine change.

This thread has some ideas... http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/internet-explorer-9-not-responding-due-to-...
The OP was having problems with locking up in Bing Maps, and on the first page someone called Londalou suggested a fix which later in the thread seems to have produced some results.
HI I am the one who started this conversation and I THINK I MAY HAVE SOLVED the problem. I am not holding my breath...but so far since I tried this solution...I haven't had any issures....so I am holding my breath. OK...what you need to TRY...is to to TOOLS. Click on INTERNET OPTION. Than go to ADVANCE TAB...and CLICK RESET. Make sure all your programs/website is not on there..except the one you're having access to TOOLS. After you click RESET...put a check mark even next to Personal Settings too. Than click OK. Than it will do its thing. THAN you'll need to REBOOT. NOW I did this last night...and was nervous to use the computer today. I got help from a friend and he said to try this method. AND SO FAR...as I hold my breath...I havent had any issures...so far. Go do this..seriously
Other suggestions seem to be centred on Google Toolbar and a recently installed copy of Chrome. Worth scanning through it.

Hello nozzer,
Thanks for your help. I looked at the website you suggested, but I didn't understand some of the suggestion there, so I looked at what others had suggested there. Some recommended a system restore, so that is what I have tried. To my surprise I only had one restore point - 2 days ago a critical update - so I used that. So far it looks like the problem has gone.
My thanks to you and to all the others who tried to help

It might be worth doing a full scan with Malwarebytes and your antivirus. Something is stopping more than just your Bing maps working!
