Javascript problems in IE7

Hello,

quite ashamed that I cant solve this myself, but its quite urgent. My old man has recently got himself a Dell laptop, so when I can, I go over to his and do windows updates etc to keep it up to date. However, yesterday, I did a few things;

- Removed McAfee Security Centre
- Installed AVG 7.5
- Installed windows updates

All was fine, then today he tells me that the some of the sites that he ususally goes to wont work. I'm there now and it seems like there is a mass blocking of Javascript and cookies, preventing pages from opening properly or completely. It must be an IE7 problem, as I have installed firefox and that seems to works fine. (For example yahoo mail)

However, I dont know what options i need to change (or why I would even need to change any as I tend to leave the privacy and security options as they are) to be able to reverty back...

Please help, as he needs it do his online share trading tomorrow, and I'll be at work... I cant believe I've done this... Bah!

Many thanks in advance

JP

I would check the javascript settings in IE7 haven't altered.

Windows

1. Select Tools then choose Internet Options. The Internet Options screen appears.
2. Select the Security tab.
3. Click the Custom Level button. The Security Settings screen appears.
4. Scroll down to Scripting, and enable Active Scripting and Scripting of Java Applets.
5. Click OK. The Internet Options screen appears.
6. Click OK.


And I don't know what Dell have done with Java either (they very kindly turn off support for the mozilla family by default for one I noticed). I had to completely uninstall it yesterday, download a fresh 6 update 3 and reinstall. Everything played nice after that.

Hi there, sorry to go off topic but how do I ask for your assistance on a very old topic from a different thread of yours? There are no contact details for you, or a messaging service on this site. I didn't want to inappropriately ask here on this thread. Any help would be much appreciated, and my email address is russell(at)inbox.com

If you have the time to reply I would be eternally grateful
