i was able to figure it out ... without formatting or reinstalling ... i searched through ms help from update and found that i needed to run these lines in my run box ..

regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 dispex.dll
regsvr32 msscript.ocx

that took care of it ... just thought i would post my findings incase anyone else ran across the same prob ....

thanks for the replys though
