cannot open yahoo applets

[7blackdog7]

I was able to open Yahoo games applets, but now not. I have tried without firewall and popups. Been thro the Java troubleshooting, deleted all temp internet files, no luck.

Win XP
Dell 4600
2MB
Java 6:13
I'm out of ideas!!

What error(s) do you get when you try?

When did  you start having this problem?

[7blackdog7]

Hi,

No error message, the open instruction appears to be accepted, done appears bottom left, nothing further.

All started about a week ago, I can't pin it down to any particular action on my part. Automatic updates for Windows and AVG are loaded as and when.

Hmmm.. 
How about try these steps:
1. Click start , select run.
2. On the run box, type: cmd.
3. You will have a black window, type these commands:
regsvr32 jscript.dll (then press enter)
regsvr32 vbscript.dll (then press enter)
4. Close the black window.
5. Restart your computer.
6. Try checking if problem would still occur.

Please let me know if these steps have solved your issue. Goodluck.

3. You will have a black window, type these commands:
regsvr32 jscript.dll (then press enter)
regsvr32 vbscript.dll (then press enter)

What do these do?

What do these do?

Aegis, It will re-register those DLL files that I think might help fix the issue of 7blackdog7 .

Hi,

Tried the "fix", this is the response,

 Not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm still open to suggestions.

Not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Please check if your typing these commands correctly:
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll

[Aegis]

When the user opens the command window, at what prompt should they expect to be, or does that matter?

[7blackdog7]

Hi,

I copied the 2 cmds. I checked to see if correct, same response

[Gean Freaks]

mmm.. something is wrong 
How about try downloading and installing these:
JScript v5.7 for XP:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=47809025-d896-482e-a0d6-524e7e844d81&DisplayLang=en
JScript v5.6 for XP and 2000:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

[Gean Freaks]

Please make sure to restart your computer after installing them. 
Hopefully that would work.

Hi,

The short answer is no! The latest Windows SP supercedes 5.7 and 5.6 was already loaded.
