Javascript issues after SP2

[Guest]

I have two computers, both with XP professional. Within
the last week I updated with SP2 on both. Now both have
the identical problem of having javascript errors in
every major browser. One machine only has internet
explorer and it always gives errors, such as when trying
to open a hotmail msg (unable to). The other machine has
IE and Opera and Foxfire, and the latter two simply sit
when I click a hotmail link.

I have searched far and wide and experimented on machine
#2 (with the multiple browsers) going so far as to
uninstall SP2, unfortunately to no avail in fixing this
problem.

The computers also both have Norton Antivirus 2003,
updated to whatever is the latest version. This and SP2
are the only similarities shared between them.

It is crucial for me to be able to get javascript to work
at I do my schoolwork over an online interface that
requires it!

thanks

have you tried reinstalling the java? Sorry, but you
didn't mention it...

Java and javascript are unrelated from what I have been
told, and that installing java related packages would
have no influence on the running of javascript.

perhaps I have been told wrong, but that aside, if I am
mistaken, what 'java' would you say to reinstall?

thanks
