> Thanks for replying Peter, I followed all instructions down to ...prior to installing Sp2. All is clear and I had no need to defrag. The problem remains with the next bit. I dont appear to have Java Runtime...how do I get it? I seem to have lost Flash and Shockwave from Macromedia, any idea as to how to replace? Ventured into the depths of IE/tls/int.opts/Adv. to untick VM and tick Java Sun,as suggested by you, however, All I found was ' Use HTTP1.1 through proxy connections Microsoft VM', this box was not ticked.
HTTP1.1 is ticked. The only Java things are 'Java console enabled (requires
restart)'...not ticked and 'Java logging enabled' also not ticked. Does any
of this make any sense at all to you? I'm off to lie down in a dark room.
However, if you can help, I would very much appreciate it. Many thanks.
