I have two computers.

One behaves, the other does not.

I go to www.theaa.com and go to route planner.
On the laptop the page loads ok
on the pc the page loads with errors at bottom of page.
Map on right of page does not load.

Program fails due to java.

Uninstalled java through add/remove.
rebooted
reinstalled java
rebooted

same problem
Kicked computer, had a cup of tea, rebooted, same problem

Tried several help pages - no help

Noticed that different dll being used on both pc's
I ran a clean up utility the other week and wondered if some empty folders
used for cacheing may have been removed.
SO thinking of a total uninstall of java and reinstall to create folders.

GOT NOWHERE.
HELP!

Note that there can actally be several different versions of Java present on
a system, and they may not get along, and sometimes the latest makes the
problem *worse*.

This kind of problem is regularly encountered by users of BlackBoard
educational systems, which is used by many universities for distance
learning.

I've gone so far as to swap hard disks, do a clean install of XP to a
freshly-partitioned and formatted drive, installed ONLY the Java version
that Blackboard specified - and it still didn't work properly. Blackboard
was unable to provide any suggestions other than "uninstall and reinstall
Java".

Contact the software vendors. This isn't a Windows problem. Look for all
versions of Java, remove them, install the ones the vendor specifies. Note
that some system utilities, such as those on Thinkpads, use an older version
of Java and when you uninstall it, those utiiltiies will break and you'll
have to reinstall that specific version -later ones wont' do.
