If you added "Noscript" to your Firefox browser, that could explain the
block of Jscript. If so, click the "S" in the lower right corner of the
screen and allow script on that page.

If you use the IE browser, it could be a security setting within the
browser. For Jscript Errors, you can look through the suggestions on
this web site:

Try these first though.

Repair 5.6 Scripting Engine install:

Click, Start, Run, type

Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Click OK

Click Start, Run, type

Regsvr32 jscript.dll

Click OK

Ah, Adobe Flash Player.. here's a possible solution:

"What I finally did (that worked) was to go to the Adobe Flash website
www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and they have a utility that will
completely remove Flash Player from your computer. Run this utility,
THEN reinstall Flash Player and you should be okay."

The uninstaller is here:
