javascript not working

Hi bruce this is a weird one

I installed newspad on my server for one of my clients and on his computer the RTE is not working.

It works fine when I use the app on everyother computer (my home,work,inlaws,friends)

so i know its not the application or web server or anything.

I also know that the RTE uses javascript and I verified that his browser does not have scripting "disabled". He is running ie7, i set his settings back to default and no go.

I also installed mozilla and still the RTE is not working in newspad, so basically he cant upload images and edit in html.

any suggestions? im thinking maybe a virus or some kind of spyware program on his computer.
