Stephan,

Did you get any error message when running the regsvr32 command?
Although the xp_js_fix.reg can be applied in Windows Vista, here is a seperate version that I uploaded:
http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/vista_js_fix.reg
Try running the .JS fix REG file from the above link and post back.
Note that .REG files are plain-text, and are viewable in a text editor like Notepad.

Dear MowGreen -
Thanks for the ideas. I had tried the regsvr32 previously, and it
doesn't work. I am hesitant to try and run the XP registry merge as I
am unclear what it does and don't want to make a bigger error than what
I am solving. I did follow the link to the microsoft download site to
download and reinstall the scripting engine, and I am struck that
although there are various packages for XP, for NT, for Windows 2000 and
the like, there seem to be no packages for Windows Vista.
Any further ideas you (or anyone else) has would be most appreciated.
