can't restore active desktop

Hi,

I am running windows XP on a home computer. One of the users has the active desktop restore symbol , but when i try to restore it I get a script error message with a path related to Internet Explorer. I am asked if I still want to run scripts on the page, yes/no...seems to make no difference which I choose. nothing happens

All the other users have normal desk tops.

I've noticed no other problems on the computer except for occasional freezeups...

I'll post the file path here in another post.
thanks for your help

 

Here is the message referenced in my original post:

An Error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line: 65
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this action
Code: 0
URL: file:///c:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Anne/Application%20Data/Microsoft/Internet%20Explorer/Desktop.htt

do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

yes/no

 

...

You might try:

Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

...

If that doesn't work, try re-registering all DLLs: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

...

Finally, you might have to refresh your scripting engine: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

Thanks for your help...problem is solved.

downloading the script engine seemed to do the trick.

Thanks again.:cool
