KB917344 has broken JavaScript ASP

[Anon]

Since installing the security update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A1-C4EE-4ECA-8B80-7BD1DFEFB4F8&displaylang=en
on our Windows 2000 server (SP4) all ASP pages which utilise Javascript have
stopped working with the following error

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0129'
Unknown scripting language
/whateverfile.asp, line 2
The scripting language 'JavaScript' is not found on the server.

Any ideas why, and how to fix it please?

None, outside of changing "JavaScript" to "JScript" in the first line of
the page. I don't know if that will help: it's just the first thought
that occurred to me.

Frankly, this sounds like a bug that should be addressed by MS PSS. You

We use lots of JavaScript ( On both W2K and 2003 servers) and have seen no issues after applying that update..
Perhaps something else was changed?
Does the event viewer have any additional info on this?

Hi, thank you for the suggestion, we did try this, but get the same error

No, definitely nothing else changed, and it's only affecting our Windows
2000 servers. No info in the event log either
