Hi Jan,
As for the first part of your question, I would tend to agree with Gary.
Windows 95 came with IE4, while IE5 is a Windows98 product. By using IE5
with Windows95 you could possibly have a versioin conflict. As for the
second part of your question concerning Java, it could be that you don't
have your scripting enabled. Go into TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/SECURITY, click
the Custom Level button and scroll down until you get to the Scripting
section. Look for Active Scripting and Scripting of Java Applets and make
sure they are both enabled.
