Re: java doesn't work



Hi,
First try going to Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone and setting it
to Default.

A security update several months ago may have caused this problem.
909889- ActiveX controls may not load as expected in Internet Explorer...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909889

You don't have to manually edit the registry as per that article. Try
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/kb896688_fix.zip (KB896688_fix.exe; a small
VB app that checks the 4 values and offers a repair option if any of them
are incorrect)
Or, this registry file: http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip
(OLEFix.reg) Download, save and right-click> merge.

After you get the current version of Java installed, previous versions of
Sun JRE/JSE/Java should be uninstalled from Control Panel> Add or remove
programs.

Hope this helps,
Don
