Win XP (Pro) updates up to date (or, at least, they were; I reinstalled a ghost copy from a couple of months ago, but that didn't fix it either and so I assume this problem was there unnoticed when I ghosted the copy). IE6x updates were up to date too, I have since reinstalled IE6 SP1 and that didn't fix it either.
I've been using my WIN 2000 OS, but have decided that I'd do a clean reinstall of that and all my applications from scratch. So, I changed the boot sequence to default to the WIN XP and was going to make sure it was running right before I did the other over clean. Day or so into it I discover that it wouldn't open some java links.
For instance: it will ALWAYS open the "comments" sections on this blog page:
http://hammorabi.blogspot.com/ (An Iraqi blogger)
It will virtually never (some rare occasions) open the "comments" for this blog page:
http://messopotamian.blogspot.com/ (another Iraqi blogger). Both are java links.
I have added those sites to my "trusted" zone, added "www.haloscan.com" (where the java goes to) to my trusted zone, disabled my anti-virals to make sure they're not screwing with the javascripting somehow; I've gone back into the "internet options" and done the "allow" thing and turned on ("allowed") every conceivable thing I can think of that would relate to scripting OR java; I've cleaned out my \temp, \cookies, \TIF, and \history folders. I've reinstalled IE6 as I mentioned. And it just don't work. Once in a while I'll get them to open (other than the one I noticed that DID open and always does).
And, the wild cards in all this: On rare occasions I can get some of the other ones to work (other than the one that always works). When they do work, they mostly work, sometimes, some work and yet a few others don't work. But, next time I reboot, or even close and reopen IE6, it's on the fritz again.
And, it's not got to do with Haloscan; I've checked some java links on www.msn.com (two of them were supposed to move the pictures on a Mustang commercial back and forward--they read "javascript:flip(-1)" and "javascript:flip()"--neither of them worked either.)
And, here's the second wild card--I was hunting for indications, something to lead me to figure out what's up here, and I came across the following blog page.
http://www.pfhyper.com/weblog/2005/01/blog-games.html
It has a "comments" section that goes to Haloscan, but by an html link ("http://www.haloscan.com/comments/pfhyper/110530331932216098/"). That won't work either (most of the time). I checked the "source" (view source) for that page and the "target type" for that link was a "<script type="text/javascript">postCount('110530331932216098')", more java stuff--I can't read this, not literate, but more java stuff, that much I got figured out.
Okay, it's got something to do with java, I got that figured out, but I'm at a loss otherwise.
Anybody know what I ought to try?
