Explorer 7 takes over

I used to be able to visit this site: http://nist.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java
to get accurate time.
now that I have IE7, it won't let the clock appear...
anyone have an idea why and what (if) settings I could change??

It works fine for me with XP and IE7...From the site:

Quote:
To see the animated clock, be sure that java is enabled on your browser. In most cases, a new download of java will fix the animated clock. Otherwise, you can try a different browser. Also, you may be behind a firewall and you will need to have your network administrator open port 8013 in order for it to work.

Do you have java on your computer? See if there is a newer version of Java.

not sure where to check Java settings....
I just assumed the upgrade to IE7 would cover this...I just downloaded and installed the latest update of it.

THANKS AGAIN!!!
