For some odd reason, IE will not load any javascript, i
could not even use IE to post this message, nor can i use
windows update to fix the problem, since it uses
javascript, which doesn't work, i tried to update java with
no sucsess and i can't reinstall IE for some reason, what
can i do?
 
See the following Gervise:

You can test for operational Java by trying any of these sites. If not
operational you may need to re-install your MS Java VM.

Many of these links were obtained from Jim Byrd MS-MVP. I will also include
below quite a bit of info that Jim has researched and provided on this
issue. I have found these to be of great value and they were definite
"keepers". Thanks Jim.

This is from Jim Byrd MS- MVP:

For the MS Java VM, you may need to install v.3809 prior to upgrading
to v. 3810 if you didn't previous have MS Java v. 3805 or 3809
installed.

If your OS is Win2000 SP2, SP3 but NOT SP4 then you can download and
install the MS Java VM v. 3809 from here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._510A502BA8F9B6F19230BB2BCCE87D5474AC9DCD.exe
or here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com...icrosoft.Q810030_W2K_SP4_5849/Q810030_W2K.exe

For Win2000 SP4, you'll need to re-install v.3805, from here:
http://www.nhyrvana.com/files/pop.cgi?file=win2kmsjavx86.zip It will
download as Pop.zip. Just unzip it and then execute the resultant
msjavx86. This is the only version that I know of that will re-install
under SP4.

For all other OS's:

Download and install the MS Java VM v. 3809 from one of the links here:
http://www.nhyrvana.com/files/pop.cgi?file=3809.exe (it will be named
pop.exe), or here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com...XP/com_microsoft.javavm_3809_5853/msjavwu.exe,
or here:
http://secinfo.huji.ac.il/patches/Win-xp/msjavwu.exe


Then upgrade to v. 3810:

For all OS's except Win2k, obtain v. 3810 here:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631

For all versions of Win2k - SP2, SP3 or SP4 - obtain v. 3810 here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-9b18-423356321682/Q816093_W2K_SP4_X86_EN.exe

Both Java VM's can co-exist on your machine quite nicely. Just select
which one you want to use in Tools|Internet Options|Advanced and restart
all IE browsers. Here, courtesy of Michel Gallant, MVP Security, is a
tiny utility which allows you to toggle and view status of your current
Java VM vendor associated with IE:
http://pages.istar.ca/~neutron/SelectIEJVM

A note from Mitch Gallant:

"One note about the JVM Selector utility:
If/when you install a new version of Sun J2SE, you need to manually
select to have Sun JVM as default JVM for IE (in install), or after
install
via the JavaPlugin control panel. This generates the necessary win32
registry entries, which must be present for the utility to know about
JavaPlugin.
After that, the utility should work properly."
 
Thanx luckystrike, but unfortunately it doesn't help.

Believe i or not, Java itself works just fine, i passed all
but one test, because it is javaSCRIPT that is need of
help, for instance, i cannot goto Launch.com since they
open their video windows in javascript, i cannot even get
the window open, but if i goto a java game applet that
loads on the normal Grey java screen it works just fine,
and it only happens in Internet Explorer, i have to use
netscape just to type this out, since these newsgroups use
javascript, can anyone figure this out?
 
Oops! Sorry Gervise should have read it closer.

Tried repairing IE, or restoring to prior version? Control panel>Add/Remove
programs>IE>add/remove>repair or restore.

Or Start>Run>Msinfo32>menu-Tools>Internet Explorer Repair Tool.

Here are some tests for Java*Script*
