I ran into this problem on one of our machines a few months back. There is a problem with the Javascript registration on your machine. To fix it, re-register jscript.dll and vbscript.dll files using regsvr32. Those files are located in the system32 folder.

tried it. did start, run regsvr32 vbscript.dll and jscript.dll and i get the same thing.

Hmmm. Did both files re-register just fine or did you get any error messages?

Here's the MS Article on it.
