Can't run any Javascript with IE6.0.2800

When trying to run a link using Javascript, nothing happens; if a picture using Java, I receive the "Error on Page" msg. If I right click the link & open as new page, I receive "Page can not be displayed" with sugestions. Had problem before and fix appeared to be unchecking the SSL 2.0 & SSL 3.0 & applying, then going back, checking the SSL's and applying in advanced section of IE. Worked for a couple days. Then severe storms were due to arrive. Did orderly shutdown and disconneted power. Next day power up PC. Everything appeared OK. 2 days later tried to open link for Java, could not. Must be box to check or uncheck some where. I am running Win XP home on a Athlon XP2800 processor with 1 Gig of memory and a cable modem.
