Javascript?

Have you tried downloading and reinstalling Internet Explorer from http://www.microsoft.com/ie? I have been doing some Google searches and this is the way some other similar problems were fixed.

Followed the link and downloaded, but it wouldn't let me update as it said I had a newer version. It's not in Add/Remove progs, so I can't delete it!

Any more idease please.

Desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!

This advice appears on the MS support forums more than once (sorry, it doesn't seem to be directly linkable).

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

or

Sometimes there's a corrupt file in the cache and one must go to Tools |
Internet Options and click Delete Files.

2a. Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

3. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281679

5a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser

5b. Find the hijacker that caused 5a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):

Postscript: the support community is at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser&lang=en&cr=US do a search for javascript and/or jscript.

Thanks Stephen and others. have followed all this advice, but still no luck. It appears to me as if it's being blocked by a pop up blocker, but I can't find it anywhere.

I used to have MSN blocker (I think), but deleted it. Could any 'bits' have been left behind?


I use Norton Internet Security, anti-virus and anti-spam, but it isn't blocked here (I don't think).

Any more clues?

Thanks Chippy, but no luck.

Stumped - It's driving me mad.............

I may be talking out of my ear but try this.

Open IE, Tools, Internet Options, Privacy = Medium.

Security = Default Level.

I may have some other thoughts to this later on.
