Hello-
I have a Windows server 2012 R2 with what I believe has a problem with Javascript and Internet Explorer. If I go to certain web sites, they appear blank & I’ll see in the lower right and corner of the Internet Explorer window “javascript;”. Other symptoms include pressing F12 and getting a blank page for developer tools, going various websites and the buttons are either missing or don’t “click” when I press them. Outside of Internet Explorer, if I go into gpedit or the services mmc, the Extended tab on these utilities do not display anything other than a partially filled window with solid color or it’s blank. If I click on the Standard tab of these apps, all is good.
I’ve searched for possible solutions & did the following:
- With the exception of the latest MS April patch, I’m up-to-date.
- Re-registered the following .dlls: mmcndmgr.dll, vscript.dll, jscript.dll & jscript9.dll
- Turned off IE Enhanced Security for both Administrators & Users
- Made sure Javascript was enabled in IE security settings
- Turned off Windows firewall- didn’t buy me anything so I turned it back on
I’m not sure when this started happening. For what it’s worth, I installed Firefox and had no problem with the website that gave me grief in IE. Anti-virus has been removed; in fact my suspicions lie with the trial version of McAfee SaaS that was on this server. I followed instructions to remove the produce properly, including using their un-install app in “run as Administrator” mode.
Many articles that I read state to uninstall IE & re-install it to resolve this issue; unfortunately 2012 R2 comes with IE11 already installed, so I’m at a loss.
Looking forward to some excellent advice!
