OK - if scripting isn't working, then that gives us a big clue!!!
It may simply be that your settings are locked down too tight - first go to
Internet Options, and set the Internet Security to Default/Medium.
Try again - if that doesn't work, then try a Repair of IE6 while in Safe
Mode - from Add/Remove Programs.
Reboot to Safe Mode
Go to Add/Remove Programs and try a repair of Internet Explorer from there.
Go to the entry for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools'
in Add/Remove Programs
Click on Remove - and click on Repair on the window that pops up
Reboot on request to Normal Mode
If the above entry isn't there, you first need to uninstall all the patches
applied, then do the repair, then reapply the patches
The patches are listed in Add/Remove under the names 'Internet Explorer
Qxxxxxx'
highlight, click Remove - reboot if requested.
Repeat until the MSIE6SP1 entry appears - then repair as above.
HTH
