Why does my new Yahoo IE browser not allow the javascript to work?

The Java SE works on the AOL browser. I receive messages like,Java Script has a runtime error, or several Java Virtual Machines are running and caused an error. I can not play Yahoo games. I tried as one answer suggested to delete and reinstall, but that didn't work even though it was an upgrade. Can anyone help me? This was not a problem before the new install from Yahoo. Thanks.

    Most of the yahoo games are created in Flash and I think it has hardly anything to do with Javascript.

    Also go to Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet options > Security > Security Level for this zone > Custom Level and check javascript is disabled. If it is disabled please enabled it.

    Again in most of the other games, it uses Java Environment rather than Java Script. Both are from different companies.
