do this for every type of java you have (should be 2)

Status: offline 		yes, it will clearly say Java, you probably have one that will just say java, and one that will say Sun Java

try viewing something again, if it doesnt let you, follow the above instructions, if it lets you, no worries :)

Status: offline 		Hi! I'm fairly new here but computers is what I do for a living - Tech Support. I don't know which Browser you are using for the internet, but you do have to make sure that you've downloaded the appropriate Java program for your browser. If it were me, this is what I'd do:

1. Uninstall all Java programs on your computer
2. reboot
3. download appropriate Java for your browser
4. install the download
5 reboot

If you are still having problems at this point it may be something like anti-virus software blocking the program, or if you're using an accelerator for your download (common with dial-up connections) your file may be broken.

Hope this helps!

Status: offline 		Hey, all you AOL and Yahoo haters. I hate them too. Before QCS got sold and the engineering group got outsourced I was a systems designer. Try "Instan-T" it's a free chat client that does AOL, Yahoo, IRC, Micro$haft and webcam for the exhibitionist in all of us. Great app written the old fashioned way it's efficient. Installed it's under 8Megs. Google it to find a their web site.

Better yet format, fdisk, and install Linux :)
