This is probably a small promblem but anyway any help getting it fixed would be great.

Java script just doesn't work for me. if you go to this LINK (http://messenger.msn.com/download/downloadx.aspx/?mkt=en-au) , and hover the cursor over the text "Click here to download manually" in the bottom left part of the screen above the start button it has something like javascript:LaunchDownload(); , when i click the link it doesn't popup with a new window or anything, does anyone know of how to fix this at all? it stops ya doing so many things its not funny. any help appreciated.

Well first of all, are Active-X controls active ( i think java script falls in active-x?)
(if it isnt, check that java script is enabled)

Second, do you have a pop-up blocker, because that would kill/not allow the file if it opened in a new window.

Thirdly, what browser are you using, can java be executed?

If you want, i can provide a detailed response for how to enable java for internet exploror, or avant browser.
