Hi,
None of the usual FAQ-type fixes come to mind. ;-)
Some things you might try:
Go to Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, set it to Default.
Check any third-party security programs to see if one of them is blocking
scripts, scripting, active content, pop-ups, etc. Is the Google toolbar or
Yahoo Companion blocking pop-ups?
Norton Internet Security installed?

http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/nis/nis_2005_info_solve.html
Or start here http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/consumer.html
Delete the History folder and TIF folder for that account.
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)
Try these two commands from Start> Run> cmd [enter]
regsvr32 vbscript.dll [enter]
regsvr32 jscript.dll [enter]
Reinstall the JavaScript engine. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
for the appropriate download.
