OT: XP seems to have stopped responding to scripts

[Guest Martin C]

This may not be the right forum for this question, but I was not quite sure

where to post it.

 

This has occurred recently with no updates having been made to the PC.

 

It was first noticed with BitComet, my torrent download app, which was

giving scripting errors all the time. I updated it to the latest release,

but the problem remains. Whenever I change view in the app, I get a script

error dialog.

 

The other thing I noticed is that while I was looking for BitComet using

Google, the search button would not work via a <return> key press. This

always used to work before. I had to use the mouse to click on the search

button to instigate the search.

 

Is it possible that my PC may be demonstrating scripting problems that is

causing these issues? I have Sun Java installed. Does anyone have any ideas

what to do?

 

TIA
