java script?

[dot]

Every time I go to a web site that has some java script thingie going the
page won't load. What need to be checked in order to enable java script and
is it safe to do so?

Thanks for replying war17 but under "Scripting of Java Applets" that is
already enabled and under "Scripting"..."Active Scripting" that is enabled
as well. Is there something else I am missing?

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

(WinXP users who have problems with 2a and 2b, see
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers_9.htm)

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

4a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

4b. Find the hijacker that caused 4a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):
