Removed 3 old versions of Java. Downloaded and installed: J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6 Tried site, same. Restarted computer, same. -Stephen
Got Java icon in tray. Everything else is same. Some Internet Options | Security | Custom Level options are ENABLE and some are PROMPT. Maybe problem here. Disabling firewall didn't work. -Stephen
I've given up. I will now post here and hope I get a answer. Thanks so much Poet for the guidance. If I get something useful here I will repost at the thread. http://forums.us.dell.com/ -Stephen
Can't confirm e-mail address (for forum) by clicking on link provided for me by Dell. Requires Java to run properly. May I scream now? -Stephen
The problem may be Java Web Start. When I run Set Clock below. I get a error message. ___________________________________________________ Your browser is not configured properly for Java Web Start *.jnlp and application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME types! __________________________________________________ http://mindprod.com/jgloss/setclock.html Various Java test sites below: http://www.javatester.org/othertesters.html That's it for today unless someone responds. Back in a few days. -Stephen
Finally!!!!! Figured out why videos don't play and java based links in my e-mail won't work either. It is NOT enough, that in IE Tools the Pop-Up blocker must be disabled. In Windows XP Inside Out page 444 (under 'Tip') : Basically it says you must hold down the Ctrl key to allow pop-ups from a site temporarily. I had the Pop-Up blocker disabled in Tools already. This was not enough. (which I still don't get, but it doesn't matter now) So when I go here for example: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4925881 I now hold down the Ctrl key as I click on the LAUNCH button. The video loads! This must all be related to the Java script pop-up code. I hope I'm done here, for myself anyway. If there are any questions I'll be back. -Stephen
