JavaScript Not Working on any Web Site with XPSP2

I've seen this problem many times on the Internet, but no solution so far.
We have XP SP2 systems with all the latest updates. We don't have the
Internet

Firewall in SP2 enabled, it is disabled (we have our own firewalls). If we
turn on Add-Ons and set it so that all are disabled except for the ones we
have

approved. We placed in the approved list everything that IE said it was
using previously. That way everything should work as it previously did, but

JavaScript does not work on any website. We have the latest version from
Sun installed (1.4.2 05).

A major problem with this is that we have thousands of people using Outlook
Web Access (2003) and it uses lots of JavaScript and therefore doesn't work.
We

have tried every KB article, hint, tip, etc. with no luck. Absolutely no
web site with JavaScript will work. We've tried turning off pop-up blocking

withing IE and that didn't help. If we revert back and turn Add-Ons off
everything works fine. We triple checked to ensure we had the correct CLSIDs
for

all of the Add-Ons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, Java and JavaScript have nothing to do with each other.

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/default.asp?contentid=28001169
or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

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

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):
