Re: Java won't work

What Security software (AV,Firewall) do you use ? I've worked a
handful of these "Java's There, but the browsers can't load/use it"
issues. Also, have you used the Sun Java applet in Control Panel to
purge/delete all the Jar cache & other associated files ? Just as a
double-check, I'd run Trend-Micro's online test.

privileges.

I uninstalled the version I had and then went back to the Java site and re
installed the windows version which is the 1.5.0./6 it appears to be the
only one suitable for me.
Needless to say the Java test works a dream but sites requiring Java still
reject me.
I cannot believe that everybody has these problems otherwise Sun would go
out of business.
Frustrating isn't it.

John,

You do not mention if you tried my suggestions.

"Some sites will only work with the Microsoft version of Java, the Java
Virtual Machine. Remove Sun's Java, Google for "Java Virtual Machine" and
download the version for XP, then install it and see if it works."

Thank you for your comprehensive reply.
I have restored my Security Zone settings.
MS Java VM is still installed, but 2 out of the 3 Add-in were not
enabled - this I have now done.
In the Add/Remove programs I had 'J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4'
and 'J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6' - I removed the Update 4.
In the Downloaded Program Files, I had 'Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0'
3 times but all with 'Installed' beside them. I have deleted two
instances.
I rely on the XP firewall capabilities but I do have Norton Systemworks
installed but I don't think this has any effect.
The bad news is that with all your efforts it still comes up with the
same 'Sorry you need a Java-enabled browser for the........"

Do not lower your Security Zone settings to accommodate Java. Have
you checked to see if the MS Java VM is still installed ? It appears in
the Internet Options, Advanced (TAB). It sounds like the Add-In is
installed, but not properly enabled. Also, have many versions of Sun
Java are installed on your PC (Add/Remove Programs). You should
also check C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files and see if the
Java instances have the Status field shown as "Damaged" and not the
expected "Installed". Finally, do you use a 3rd-Party Firewall that may
have a rule for "Blocking" Java enabled ?

Thank you for your interest.
Temporarily I have set my security levels to low for everything.
In IE, when trying to include my required sites to 'Trusted Sites' it
tells me that they must be prefixed https:// however the sites will
not respond to this.
But i'm still getting "Sorry you need a Java-enabled browser for
the........"
I'm running out of ideas!

I have installed the latest Java 50.0.6 software.
The tests on the Java site prove that it is working.
However if I try to access a site that uses a Java applet I get a
message saying "Sorry you need a Java-enabled browser for the

cannot get any of their applets to work on websites.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks J King

What browser are you using?
If IE, what are your security settings on the Internet zone, etc?
Have you tried adding the sites you like to your trusted sites and
setting the security therein to 'low' ?
