Hi George - In addition to what Jim suggested, you might want to take a look
at a fix for an older version of this same problem:

Courtesy of Simomatra

go to your RUN window from the start menu.
1. type in "regsvr32 msscript.ocx" and hit enter
2. do the same with scrrun.dll , dispex.dll, and vbscript.dll
3. open windows explorer, select folder options in the tools drop down.
4. select the file types tab
5. scroll down to the extension type JS, highlight it and hit the advanced
button
6. highlight the Open command and hit the edit button. If you have more
than one "Open" command showing (which was part of my problem)delete one of
them.
7. In the field "application used to perform action" paste in this - C:
\%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %* your done.
