Windows Script Host is a runtime engine for several script programming languages.

Wikipedia says there following here:

"Windows Script Host is distributed and installed by default on Windows 98 and later versions of Windows. It is also installed if Internet Explorer 5 (or a later version) is installed."

The same article explains here, which versions of Windows contain which version of WSH.

Hi. Well, yesterday my windows xp just refused to boot.
Not really refused, but it just shows black screen with cursor (that one - "_") flashing after that windows logo with blue line.
Neither safe mode, nor last succesful configuration work.
I have another windows xp on another hard drive (the one not working on "d", the working one on "c", I'm not really sure if these are physically different drives). It works fine. When I open "d" drive everything seems fine there too. CureIt (free drweb utility) finds no viruses.

I hope I have posted in the correct area.
I have recently formatted a HP laptop, when I tried to upgrade to IE7 it always fails, Explorer tries to load but immediately disappears, I have restored and tried again several times with same result.
I have an identical laptop that has upgraded successfully.
Does any one have any ideas?

Ive been a long time lurker but not very often do i post.

I have this problem with an HP computer that i am trying to setup a fresh install of Windows on.
Basically go to the bios and have the CD-drive become the 1st boot device with the Windows disc in there.

Windows goes through the setup processs (press F8, delete old partition, wait for format to finish, etc)
everything goes fine during that process, all the drivers and stuff install fine no errors occurring at all.

So that process goes fine, then it gets to the point where the computer has to restart and enter Windows setup.

At boot-up I get a black screen that says "Invalid Boot.ini File". How do I access the file to see what is in it or to change it so I don't get the error message any more. It seems as though my PC takes about 5 minutes to boot since I started getting the error message. Any help would be appreciated

Hi guys,

I updated xp with SP3 ans when I rebooted I received the following error message:

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\phqgh.exe
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:054f IP:0198 OP:63 6f 6d 2f 68

I have no idea what it is about. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

ello,
today I found a problem that seems a little odd to me. The situation is the following; on a Windows 2008 network, several clients are part of the domain, all without errors or any problems of note; except a laptop.

This laptop is also part of the domain, it has a connection to all printers that the server offers and in the network environment, the server and all workstations can be found.

when i reboot my laptop, i previously formated it
now i have two service packs to choose from,

one is the good one and i wanna get rid of the bad one

Okay- this is a little tiny thing but REALLY irritating! The "My Documents" shortcut will not appear in "My Computer" (NOT Desktop) in the limited user account. Will appear in the Admin account AND the user account with admin access. I've checked the Registry under HKLM and HKCU for shell folder paths and doc folder paths and I've changed permissions and checked the desktop.ini - I HAD a fix for this - something in nonenum or Windows NT folder in the registry and forgot it- it definitely involved the CLSID for "My Docs".

Hi i have a new system which i am trying to get up & running with no great success.When i boot into my system the first boot page is fine but on the second one it stops with a cursor under the last bank of memory & justs blinks at me can anyone shed any light or give any advice please.
The system is as follows
Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H mobo
AMD Phenom X3 Triple Core 8650 2.3ghz skt AM2
OCZ DDR 1066mhz Pc2-8500 Gold Memory 8Gb
Asus 9500GT 1Gb ddr2 PCI-E Graphics
OCZ Stealth XTream 500w PSU
Many thanks
Eric
