  1. if you kept ur hand in settings u want to change to as regular

    or

    some files may be corrupt in the internet explorer by viruses

    so download internet explorer and install it


  2. make sure you are trying to run javascript programs from internet browser. javascript programs does not run their own like other programs, they are interpreted by browser every time they run. vista should not be causing the problem, because i designed my javascript projects on vista.

  3. check you browser ,may be javascript may not be enabled.

    hope you are writing the script inside the <head>

  4. JavaScript code. I guess that is embedded in HTML and you are using a JS enabled browser to execute that. If all this is true then you can post the code here. Someone would surely be able to fix that.

    Cheers.

  6. First of all, before you can run a Java program, you need a compiler to do that. You can go to Java.com for more information or you could try JCreator. It's a very good program for Java. Plus, it's interface is not complicated. Don't worry, it's free.

    However, you should download the Java Development Kit (JDK, also free) on Java.com before JCreator could work.

    Hope this helped...
