How do I enable Javascript?

When starting Acrobat, I suddenly get a dialog box saying Javascript is inactivated. I have not changed any settings. Since this box is system global/modal, it blocks the underlying Acrobat window, so I can't access its settings. Is there a simple solution (supposedly one can adjust the setting through the registry, but how do I do that without damaging anything). And why did this box suddenly appear? My Acrobat Reader doesn't display it.

Having JavaScript disabled should not prevent you from using the application in general, nor should it cause such a message to appear when you open it. Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? Also, what exact version of Reader are you using, and what's your OS version?

It isn't that exciting. See shot. Nothing happens whatever email address I enter. If I close the dialog box, Acrobat exits.

You need to activate JS in your browser.

Javascript is enabled in my browsers. Still the same problem.

Ok, the message is CERTAINLY not about Acrobat's JavaScript. This particular box is made using web browser technology, so it's a message about JavaScript not working with whatever browser technology is being used. I've seen a few cases of this. I see reports that it will use Microsoft's browser in all cases, and I observe you have at least 3 different browsers.
