robinhood42,

There are several possibilities, depending on what type of scripting you're referring to. Visual Basic scripts can be disabled by changing the default action associated with them. JavaScript can be disabled in Web browsers.

What kind of scripts do you need to re-enable, and for what applications?

I am reinstalling Norton AV and I need to enable Java Scripting. I used to know where the settings were, but forgot. It won't do a Full System Scan without this. Every other option works except this one. Also, on start up I get this big blue box that says System 32. It says not to modify these settings, which I know not to do, but how do I get rid of the error message? I had to reinstall Windows because of corrupt files.

I think it's Java Scripting.

robinhood42,

I don't know why you need to enable scripting to run a full system scan, I have never had to, but to enable scripting in NAV right-click the NAV icon in the task tray and select "Configure Norton AntiVirus." One the dialog that opens click Script Blocking and on the next window uncheck "Enable Script Blocking."

What message or indication do you receive that indicates that scripting is required?

Edit: I reread your original post, and apparently I misunderstood that you wished scripting for antivirus. To enable scripting for other uses, open Internet Explorer and go to Tools|Internet Options|Security Tab. Click "Custom Settings" and on the next dialog enable Scripting in the three entries near the bottom.

Denny,

I had to reinstall Windows. I reinstalled NAV and had no problem, but when I click on Full System Scan, the program will absolutely not let me do it. Somewhere along the lines I read about Scripting. Also, on some other programs, Scripting has to be enabled, as a few Active X options have to be enabled also. I used to know where I could find these options. I thought they were in Device Manager, but I can't remember now. If you could refresh my memory or know why part of NAV wouldn't work, I'd appreciate it. Also, I was getting the System 32 box on startup, but somebody sent me a link to your site where it says how to get rid of it, and now the error message is gone. I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card.

I appreciate it.

Robin

robinhood42,

Regarding the "system32" folder opening during login, see if this information from Denny Denham helps.

I don't use Norton Antivirus and don't know how it might block Java, or JavaScript, which is entirely different from Java. Hopefully someone who's familiar with configuring NAV will be able to help. It would be helpful to know whether you're referring to Java or JavaScript. Both are "scripting languages", but that's about all they have in common.

robinhood42,

Settings for ActiveX is on the Custom Levels dialog on the Internet Options Security tab along with the scripting controls. What error do you get when you try to run a full system scan with Norton?

Hi Denny,

That's what the problem was. No error messages, the program just would not let me do a scan. Any kind of scan. I uninstalled NAV and reinstalled it about 5 times but it didn't work. Finally, I said the heck with it. I went and reformatted, deleted and repartitioned the hard drive, reinstalled Windows and the Apps that came with the Dell Computer. Now it seems to be working fine, but I don't want to jink it. I just don't know why it wouldn't work with me using the Add/Remove programs. So far this computer has been a total nightmare. I spent 10 hours working on it today, and I don't even have any of my own programs reinstalled yet. It is so time consuming and frustrating. Wish I was lucky enough to know someone around here where I live who worked on computers. I don't know what caused the problem so it isn't something I can fix in the future unless I do a total reinstall again.

I am quite familiar with NAV because I've used it for years. I know that program inside and out. Files were corrupted or something. But this part I don't understand. Maybe you know. I have the DVD RW drive on the top, and the CD ROM drive on the bottom. I did a clean reinstall of Nortons. Didn't have a problem until it said to take the disk out of the drive and restart the computer. I went to take the disk out and I got the message "The wrong volume is in the drive. Please insert MusicTo into Drive D. Now that is the drive that had the NAV disk in it. Any suggestions? I'd really like to know what it means. I don't know why it would be looking for a MusicTo disk. Don't even know what that is.

Now I have the job of piecing the rest of my computer together. Reinstalling software, etc. It takes forever. Also have to hook up my printer again.

Thanks for the help,

Robin

Denny,

Thanks for the help. I'm using an 8400. I checked the spec sheet that came with my computer and I have an ATA hard drive. I have Windows up and running now. The Raid driver confused me. It's listed on my Resource CD, but not as the hard drive, as an Intel Accelerator drive, or something like that. There are so many configurations that it boggles the mind. When I reinstalled Windows, I never got an error message saying that I needed a Raid boot disk. Windows pretty much installed itself after I did the partitioning thing and set it for a full format. I didn't realize that each system had a different hard drive. I just assumed they were all alike and they all booted from a cd rom.
