Hi, A friend of mine just went through the same thing. She ended up going to a Sun site and downloading something from them and got everything working Thanks and have a Great Day! Joe Lore I am using Win XP home edition. I usually have no problems accessing sites on the web. Recently, however, I tried to open a page and received a message to install a new version of java virtual machine. I click the download button and get redirected to the windows update page, but when I scan for new updates there are none available. Is this update on my machine and somehow not installed? Since I first encountered the problem, I have found two additional sites requiring this updated version in order to view the site properly. ?? Thanks for any help.
