SharePoint Central Administration Website – javascript errors

I ran into an issue with my SharePoint Central Administration website recently. This was in a my development Virtual PC, using IE7.

I would open the SCAW which appeared to be fine, but some of the functionality wasn’t working. I’d click on certain buttons and nothing would happen. I then noticed that IE was reporting javascript errors.

I tried using FireFox. Some of the errors that I saw in IE weren’t in FireFox, but some of SCAW (usually popups) didn’t work.

Rather try to figure out what I did (I’m assuming that I did something that caused this), I decided to remove the Central Admin site and reinstall it. SO, I used the wizard to remove and then used the wizard to install a fresh SCAW site, which worked fine.

I am having the same problem. Could you let me know how to do this?? I have uninstalled the WSS 3.0 and Installed again. It didn't work for me.
Thanks,
Venkat

Instead of the WSS installer, you need to run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard. This sets up the Central Admin website.

However, if you did uninstall WSS and then reinstalled it, you should have been prompted for this step -- so you might have done it already. In that case, your problem isn't the same one that I saw.
