Greetings --

    Find a better use for your time? :-} ..... Sorry, couldn't
resist.

    Seriously, though.... It would appear that Yahoo and ESPN are
being slow (by a couple of years) to update their web sites to accept
Sun's version of Java. If that's the case, you'll need to add the
Microsoft version , as well.

   As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft was not allowed to provide its own Java Virtual
Machine to Windows XP users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the wider website
compatibility of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, one of which is here:
http://www.virtualmachine.tk/.

    If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to visit Windows
Update to apply a needed security patch.
