Re: SunJavaScript/Flash/IE6 Not Working right! Help?

Hi Don

OK, I did the refresh scripting tool, that seemed to install ok (no error
windows).

I don't have yahoo toolbar ... just messenger and when I installed that I
know I unchecked the toolbar (I hate all of them!). I did a quick search for
files and folders on both Yahoo and Toolbar - nothing with toolbar showed up.

Did the safemode=network (scary! I assume my Zone Alarm firewall wasn't on?)
and got my homepage on IE to load completely, pics and all - once, then got
the couldn't find server, something like that. Tried the macromedia test
page - got the "You need Javascript enabled to view this content" even in
safe mode.

Went to the addons and SSVHelperClass ssv.dll, SunJava Console ssv.dll is
enabled, along with shockwave flash object, real.com, acroIEHlperObj.Class
(Adobe), Windows Messenger.

I just tried disabling my EZ Armor a/v, rebooted and still can't get the
homepage to load or the Flash message to change (thought maybe it wasn't
"playing well" for whatever reason).

I did run a HijackThis log while in safemode - there doesn't look like
there's anything weird there since my first scan, the day I set the computer
up.

I'm at a loss! Someone suggested I uninstall IE and reinstall it? I have
no idea where to do that (it's not in add/remove programs that I can see) or
if it would do any good.

Thanks for your help and suggestions. I just wish one of them worked. I
gotta say, I really HATE SP2. I've never had so many problems with things
either not wanting to work (and I'm not good at "tweaking") or not working at
all. Times like this I honestly miss 98SP2. Or even XPHome SP1. That was
manageable. This SP2? I thought ME was bad.

If you think of anything else, please let me know.

You could try refreshing Windows Scripting. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
for the appropriate download of Windows Script 5.6

But, it sounds like one of the security programs is blocking scripts,
scripting, active content. Check Add or Remove programs for the Yahoo
toolbar. Uninstall it if it's listed. Otherwise you'll have to look through
the settings of those security programs for something like "block scripts"
or "block active content."

The Safe Mode test should tell you whether the problem lies with IE or
another program, since most third-party programs don't load in Safe Mode.

Hi Don

Thanks for responding.

I clear everything after any site is visited - something I've always done.
I also went and put things on Default.

Checked Objects, Have Java 3 times, first has 4,096 bytes, version
5.0.60.5, other 2 have 0 bytes. Went to the Sun test page - got the
"dancing" icon. Went to Macromedia test page - Flash still says I need to
enable JS. Looked at Tools - it is enabled. Still no images on my
homepage, still not able to get flash/JS based popup windows to open
(popup
blocker disabled).

I did click on the games link on my homepage, went to Gamehouse,
Texttwist.
It loaded, I played for awhile. Then opened the Java addon and read this
(I
don't know what it means):

Init 2.4
Date Value 1148978012000
initializing BoomUser.class! v3.6
Found Points
Applet:housepoints.Points[panel0,0,0,1x1,layout=java.awt.FlowLayout]
(c) 2005 GameHouse, Inc.
No interface for texttwist.TwistNet
looping silent audio
stopped applet
Stop ret
destroy v2.4
destroyed applet
java.lang.InterruptedException

I use ZoneAlarm Pro 5.5, Java is in programs - Access Trusted, Internet
Allowed; Server Trusted, Internet Not Allowed; Send Mail Not Allowed. The
Components all have access. Windows Firewall disabled. Also use EZ Armor
A/V, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, SpywareBlaster, CCleaner. Scans are run in
safe
mode (only time I use it or for updating video card drivers).

IE is the absolute worst with this, but it has started affecting FF - I
have
to either refresh a page a few times or go to another page and come back
for
a clickable link or popup (allowed) window to open.

As to using the safe mode=Network. I have no idea what it is I would be
looking for. It's taken me 6 years to even figure out regular old safe
mode.
I tried using the System Restore tonight, back to the day after I got the
computer (23rd), but nothing in the Java changed except I have 2 entries
for
Java 1.5.02 in my firewall that don't go anywhere if I click on
properties.

I'm at my wit's end with this! Any ideas, suggestions, etc. are truly
appreciated. Thanks again.

Try this test *very* briefly because you'll be running with security
programs shutdown...

If the problem goes away, a program that didn't load in Safe Mode is
causing
it. Look at security, privacy, ad-blockers, etc. to find that program
and
change settings. You may be looking for an option such as block scripts,
scripting, active content.

HI

OK, I recently got an eMachines T6528 - need a puter quick, old one
died.
This does not come with a full install disc, just a "recovery" disc -
don't
even know what's on it or if this would even fix my problem.

I used Roadrunner cable internet, homepage is flash-based. So,
installed
shockwave and flash as usual. Homepage will not show any images. Go
to
Macromedia (adobe) test page - shockwave is fine, Flash test says I
must
enable Javascript. 2 of us play on Neopets, which is flash based.
Can
see
pages/images, cannot play any games (flash popup window and yes, popup
is
disabled when we play), I get a javascript error ! at the bottom of
the
page.
If I click on the little icon, I see: !javascript:; Line: 128 Char:
21
Error: object doesn't support this property or method Code:0 URL:
http://
www
.neopets. com/games/carnival.phtml (as an example).

I've updated the Sun Java (had 1.5.2, now 1.5.6), I checked
Security/Advanced and it's checked for IE. Looked in Add-ons - Java
is
there
and enabled.

IE version 6.0.2900.2180 currently. I tried d/l and installing IE
again,
but it's version 6.0.2800.1106 so it won't install. There is nothing
in
my
Add/Remove programs to uninstall IE so I can try installing it again
and
getting my updates.

I've not ever gotten that odd thing on a page that you have to click
to
"activate" Active X content.

I tried d/l and running the Windows 5.6 and restarting - no joy. I
tried
using IEFix, nothing. I did the "test" of going to the bejeweled -
that
works. But just about everything else won't.

I have to refresh my home page 3 or 4 times just to see all the
modules
(sidebar RR uses) - but no images will ever appear.

I've never had to d/l or add on anything for any javascript or play
around
in IE Tools before (never used SP2 before). I am using FF for most
things
atm - Sun JavaScript is actually UNchecked for it and everything works
fine.

Any suggestions, please? This is driving us nuts and I'm not "techie"
friendly at all. Thanks.
