In the Tools menu, go to Internet Options and then click the Advanced tab. There should be some enable/disable Java selections part way down. hth

What version of IE are you using? I'm using 5.5, and after I get into the Advanced tab, about halfway down there is a section titled Microsoft VM. There's 3 Java options under that. With it saying VM, I'm guessing that's Microsoft's Virtual Machine. Do you have that downloaded (it may have come with your OS - not sure because I'm still using Win95 and I had to DL it from MS's website).

The way I understand it is that Java was disabled in IE for Windows XP because of a lawsuit brought forward by Sun.
I downloaded Sun's Java virtual machine at http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html Microsoft says that if you use this version it is not guaranteed against errors but it has been working just fine for me. |

You can get Java from Windows update again.

Yeah, Mickeysoft's site said if you didn't have VM, that you need to download Windows XP Service Pack 1. Here's the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...p1/default.asp This may be the same as the one Hot Rod listed but I don't think so. hth
