I (or Netscape) appear to have sucessfully stuffed msie v3 and am unable
to restore it to it's former working self.

MSIE starts ok but does not run any of the Javascript I've put into a
collection of linked test local html pages nor does it respond to any
'onClick' events.  It used to do both before I installed Netscape v3 (I
checked).  

[I installed Netscape because msie didn't like some functions I'd
written so I thought that Netscape - being the authors of javascript -
would play where msie wouldn't...but that's another story]

Anyway, Netscape installed ok but for reasons beyond me couldn't follow
any of my linked pages and when I manually selected the pages it
wouldn't run any Javascript stuff either.  Thoroughly fed up at this
point I tried msie but that had by now stopped working properly too.
(Similar symptoms; JS won't run and onClick's are blithely ignored but
at least the links are followed)

I'm a bit baffled as to why this has come about and as to what can be
done to set things to right.  I've taken Netscape and msie off the disk
(except for the registry entries which I'm a _bit_ leery of right now)
and have re-installed msie but still no joy or anything much else.

Is there anybody who could suggest some explanations and/or ideas for
fixing this mess?
