Answer 1

You should get Java> http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
If you have Java it will ask you to verify install. If you don't, it will ask you to download it, then verify.

Then on the Internet Options, Security tab, Reset all zones to default level.

Answer 2

To turn on JavaScript:
In FireFox (Much better browser by the way):
Tools>Options>Content>check "Enable JavaScript

In MS IE:
Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Security tab, click Internet.
Click Custom Level.
Scroll down to Active scripting.
Click Enable
Click OK.
Click Yes.
Click OK

Or it may not be installed (for some reason). If the above methods don't work, try to install it:
