I was having the same problem with a game link on Zone.MSN.com. I fixed it by going to the Security tab in IE, click on 'trusted sites', click on the 'sites...' button, then added the MSN site to the list. It works now!

Another thing you can try is to install the latest Windows Scripting host from MS...the install includes a new jscript.dll so I've had luck fixing a few with that. I just go to google and type in "download Windows Scripting host" and follow the link from MSDN. You can try this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

Thanks so much. I was thinking I would have to clean my hard drive and start all over again. I am not sure what caused the problem, but it was driving me nuts. I downloaded the latest Windows Scripting host and now everything is back to normal. I appreciate the suggestion!!
first of all I run on microsoft XP, I have a toshiba satellite 1415-s173. I think i'm running using IE 6 I'm not sure I do'nt know how to find out. I think it's either 6 or 5.5
I tried doing everything that you guys have said. They javascript links DO open, but the thing is that they lag down and it takes about 30 seconds to open it, and I have DSL as well. It slows down my WHOLE computer and all the other programs when I try to open up javascript links. I tried using a different browser like mozilla firefox and it has worked. It doesn't work in my IE and AOL, which i think runs off of IE.
I reformatted my computer TWICE already.
The first time I did was partially for that reason and then the second time was specifically for that reason.
Please help me. :cry:
:rolleyes:
THANKS IN ADVANCE :cheesy:

shortone,
Being new to this site I'm sure you aren't aware of this, but we do ask that members start their own thread when they have a question rather than "piggybacking" the question onto a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar the 2 problems might seem).
For one thing, the piggybacking diverts the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, and for another, your question won't get the attention that it would if it were in its own thread.
With that in mind, please post your question in its own thread, and try to provide as much detailed info as possible when you do (the exact text of error messages, your version of Windows and the program(s) you're having trouble with, etc.)
Thanks for understanding.

Javascript not working in internet explorer
Windows update not working in internet explorer
windows search not working
find not working / find again not working in Internet explorer
MS knowledge base search not working properly
(in case anyone with a similar problem is searching!)
...and other bits and pieces
It took me a while to come across this result as I didn't initially do a search for the javascript part of the problem, but it instantly solved all of the above.
many thanks
