How to Fix an MSHTML.DLL Error


1. Reset Internet Explorer settings by opening the program, clicking the 'Tools' menu and clicking 'Internet Options.' Click the 'Advanced' tab and then click 'Reset' in the 'Reset Internet Explorer Settings' window to confirm.
2. Download and install the latest version of Internet Explorer from the Microsoft website. If you're running an outdated version of the browser, upgrading may solve the the MSHTML.DLL error by replacing the file. When finished installing, restart your computer, then open the browser and navigate to an HTML page to test.
3. Install the latest service pack upgrade for your version of the Windows operating system. Go to the Microsoft Update website and choose 'Express Install.' Choose to install the latest updates for your computer, then restart.
4. Run the System File Checker program. This built-in utility checks important system files and automatically replaces missing or corrupted files. Click the 'Start' menu, then choose 'Run.' In the text area, type 'sfc /scannow' and press the 'Enter' key. If any files are found to be missing or corrupted, you'll need to insert your Windows disc into your optical drive so the files can be replaced. Restart your computer once the program has completed the check.
5. Reset the TCP/IP protocol settings on your computer. Click the 'Start' menu and choose 'Run.' Type in 'cmd' to open the command prompt window. Type in 'netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt' and press the 'Enter' key. This will rewrite two registry entries that are used by the TCP/IP Internet protocol, which may solve the DLL error. Restart the computer.
6. Download and install a registry cleaner that checks the Windows registry for errors and fixes or deletes corrupted entries. Run the registry cleaner to check for errors, opting to fix any that are detected, and then restart the computer.
7. Test the result of any or all of these steps by opening Internet Explorer and browsing to any Web page with the file extension '.htm' or '.html'. If the program renders the pages without error, the MSHTML.DLL file has been successfully fixed or replaced.

Removing the .dll

If you're using a 32-bit version of XP or Vista, this is C:\Windows\System32. In 64-bit versions of XP or Vista, it's C:\Windows\SysWOW64. In 2000 and NT, it's C:\WINNT\System32. In 95, 98 and ME, it's C:\Windows\System.
5. Left-click on the system folder in the left panel to display all of its contents in the right panel. Browse through the files in the right panel until you find nv4_disp.dll, then right-click on the file and select 'Delete' from the pop-up options. This moves the file to the Recycle Bin.
6. Left-click the 'Start' button in Windows and click 'Run.' In the Run window, type 'cmd' and then click the 'Run' button. This will open the command prompt.
7. Type 'regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\System32\nv4_disp.dll' in the command prompt, but modify this line if necessary to specify the right file path for your version of Windows. In this example, the file path for 32-bit versions of XP and Vista is used. If you're using a different version, refer to the system folder file paths listed in the first step and substitute the path for your Windows version in this line. Once you've typed in this command, press 'Enter' to un-register the .dll from your system.

How to Reinstall Javascript on a Computer


Reinstall Javascript on a Mac Computer
1. Understand how the Javascript software code works. Javascript is integrated into your web browser (e.g. Safari or Mozilla Firefox) and is not a stand-alone program. Reinstalling Javascript typically involves reinstalling your entire browser. Thus, it is best to go through several troubleshooting steps to make your current version of Javascript function before reinstalling your browser.
2. Check for system software updates from Apple. Updates to the Javascript technology are delivered to your computer through such updates. Click the Apple icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen and select 'Software Update.' Download all critical updates.
3. Restart your computer. This clears your system cache and can help resolve any Javascript issues you are experiencing. Click the Apple icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen and select 'Restart.'
4. Check that Javascript is enabled in your web browser. Launch Safari and click 'Preferences.' Click the icon for 'Security' and select the checkbox next to 'Enable Javascript.' Close the dialog box and quit Safari. When you launch Safari again, Javascript will be enabled.
5. Delete the Safari system file. Quit Safari and open the Library file in your Home folder. Double-click the 'Preferences' folder. Locate the 'com.apple.safari.plist' file and delete it. Launch Safari again and see if you still experience problems with Javascript. If you do, launch the browser and download the most recent copy of Safari from Apple's website (link in the Resources section). Delete the copy of Safari in your 'Applications' folder and double-click the installation file you just downloaded to reinstall your browser.
Reinstall Javascript on a Windows Computer
6. Remember that Javascript is not a stand-alone piece of software and is integrated directly into your Windows browser (e.g. Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer). Reinstalling the Javascript software usually requires a reinstallation of your browser. Therefore, it is ideal to troubleshoot your current version of Javascript before reinstalling your browser.
7. Check for system software updates from Microsoft. Important security updates and bug fixes to the Javascript on your computer are installed through such updates. Launch Internet Explorer and go to the Microsoft Windows Update website (link in the Resources section). Download all critical updates suggested by Microsoft.
8. Restart your PC. This will clear the Windows system cache and may assist in resolving any Javascript errors you are encountering. Click the Start menu in the lower left-hand corner of the screen and select 'Restart.'
9. Verify that Javascript is enabled in your Windows web browser. Launch Internet Explorer and click 'Tools' in the top menu. Select 'Internet Options' from the drop down menu. Click 'Security.' Select the 'Internet' zone. Click 'Default Level' and close the dialog box. Refresh your webpage to enable Javascript.
10. Reinstall Internet Explorer (IE). The process for reinstalling the Internet Explorer web browser differs depending on the version of the browser you are using (e.g. 6, 7 or 8) and the version of Windows you are running (e.g. Windows XP or Windows Vista). Follow the reinstallation instructions on Microsoft's support website (link in the Resources section). Typically, the process involves restarting your computer using the Windows installation disks and reinstalling a clean copy of IE on the system level.
