Angry Internet Explorer doesn't run Javascript

Hello,
I encountered a rather strange problem. all of a sudden, whenever I would surf in a site which that needs to use JavaScript, my computer wouldn't run those scripts.
Like form buttons, I could see the button but when I press it nothing happens, or in some sites, I can't even see buttons.

EDIT:
VBScript Doesn't Work too
just didn't notice it before

How can I fix this?

Thank you for your time

I have the same problem. It began after I installed SP1 (XP Pro). I read somewhere that the SP1 eliminates some portion of Java. Does anyone know how I can recover the Java support. I used it to watch weather radar loop. We live in a very remote area.

Missing JAVA

Go to sunjava.com and download. Free and works flawlessly.
