Re: SP2/Java problems - IT DOES NOT WORK, period!!!!!!



"IF" you know what you are talking about, answer my questions, and give me
some additional details - machines you are running, specs of those machines,
anything you did special, type of sites you are using that use java applets
and you are not having any problems with, etc. Also, does your "Windows Task
Mgr" work properly?? It will with anything but SUN JAVA situations.

I, too, know what I am talking about when I say it does not work! I am a
very experienced user with advanced skills in various areas of the IT
environment. I have worked in the main frame/emulating/networking/pc
environment for "eons;" program in various languages and data base programs;
troubleshoot computers, programs, and networks; evaluate and buy software,
hardware; critique and develop websites but not an advanced website builder;
et cetera. I am a jack of all trades, nevew will master it all 'cause it
changes too fast -- and know that there is always something more to learn.

If you have never had to END a window that says it is RESPONDING but is NOT
in Task Mgr, you are not using the java that I am using OR as I use it. This
is a known issue in WIN XP and seems to be connected to Sun Java.

Now... tell me how you use JAVA and what you think is different on your
machine that YOURS is working and "mine ( ours )" is not ?

Again.. your saying IT WORKS and you know what you are talking about mean
NOTHING!!! I have proved too many like you wrong who THOUGHT their Sun Java
was working and it was not. They were having the same issues as I "am"
having and didn't recognize it for what it is.

My specs again:

--WIN XP HOME (but it is not working any better with PRO which I will be
installing just to verify that very soon on my NON working machine)
--INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0 w/ sp2
--3.4 Intel processor
--550 hyperthreading
--1 mg of ram

My two machines that will not work properly with SUN JAVA were manufactured
by Gateway and Dell. But I have also verified the java was not working
properly on an HP, EMACHINE, various other machines with varying processor
speeds, et cetera.

Can't find any common denominator for the problem other than SUN JAVA. I
also read where SUN has some kind of legal issue going on right now with
Microsoft involving needing secret code specs or info, and I think it is
reference to this issue of trying to get Sun Java to work with Microsoft
products.

So, Tom Pepper Willet, tell us why YOUR Sun Java works and no one else's
does! We are all anxiously awaiting your "inside" info! Especially me! :))
