Windows Update / Javascript popups - all not working - Help?

Hi there,

Something has gone wrong with a friends Windows XP installation. Problems
starting playing up with Norton Internet Security 2002 so frustrated we
removed it to move to AVG.

Norton removal was messy. Can't remember exactly but I had to re-enable some
services to get things like Security centre working properly.

However now, certain websites through IE are just blank pages. E.g. Log in
to NEtgear router, never actually displays the content. Windows update shows
as a blank page, Dell 3d demo of the laptops (Where they pop up in a
JavaScript window) just do not respond.

These things work in Firefox accept for Windows update as this says IE is
required. Also I note that the Send To Desktop link does not seem to do
anything.

Can anyone please suggest what might be wrong with this PC. Generally other
things seem OK with it but I would like to get it fixed so we can do Windows
updates and view all websites with IE.

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

Try entering this command in the run box (Start > Run)

regsvr32 jscript.dll

If that does not work,

regsvr32 wintrust.dll

Hope that works!
