Well, curates egg.
The applet did download again, so it had been removed (albeit grudgingly -
XP threw a bit of a wobbler).
The installation seemed to create a lot of disc activity.
The applet shows the same problem as before, so it wasn't a faulty download.
>From previous problems with this service I know that the applets used to
work only with MSJVM and not the SUN version, so I guess I now have to go
through the pain of installing MSJVM on my new XP Home system.
I have noted the instructions elsewhere in this NG :-)
Bl**dy typical government web site though - build in a dependency on a
specific JVM shortly before MS removes the JVM from all new machines.
I may be a litttle unfair to them; we shall se if this works once the MSJVM
is installed.
However the applet downloads and works (or at least gets further) on my
Win2K sytem.
If this is a MSJVM problem then they are in deep doodoo as all new machines
ship without it :-)
More later, no doubt.
