Javascript Links don't open in IE6

Guest

I have XP Home SP2. Javascript links don't work in IE6 but they do work in
NETSCAPE. It's not a site specific problem - I've tried the same pages and
the same links on different computers in IE6 that don't have SP2. I've run
Spysweeper and Pest Patrol - it's not spyware. It started as soon as I
installed SP2. I've done all of these suggestions:

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine

or

Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and X

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

4. See also

5a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

5b. Find the hijacker that caused 5a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):

It just won't work in IE6. Any suggestions? Maybe I'll just switch to
Netscape.

This is all adding to my continued regret that I installed XP2. Security
shouldn't take so much power away from the users.

Thanks
