I need help to get javascript on my vista 64 bit PC.
I tried doing it but I only screwed things up.
What, specifically, must I check or uncheck in vista.
I have been unable to read my saved information because I do not have javascript.
Help.
Thank you.

Hi, bk39
Javascript isn't installed onto a PC. It's code that runs inside websites that does things like checking a field is filled in or displaying the current date.
To get javascript to work on your browser (Internet Explorer) follow these instructions
1 Open Internet Explorer.
2 On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3 On the Security tab, click Internet.
4 Click Custom Level.
5 Scroll down to Active scripting.
6 Click Enable (or Prompt).
Click OK.
Click Yes.
Click OK.
The steps may be slightly different if you use a different browser. Just Google "Turn on javascript for X" where X is your browser.
To check if javascript is working in your browser copy
javascript:alert("Hi BK39");
into the address bar (the box with http://... in it)
if a little pop up appears that says "Hi BK39" then your set to go.
