I am not sure if I posted this in the right section or not—moderator please change if I haven’t.

I am running XP Pro SP2 & IE 7.

I cannot get Java to Run or Open Applets in IE7. I’ve tried everything I could think about and read about and still no luck. I removed Java COMPLETELY –both using the ADD & Remove program in the control panel & the REVO Uninstaller. Cleaned all the files by doing a Search & checking Windows Explorer--

Downloaded Java again several times both the Online way & Offline way. With & without the Firewall being active.

Checked everything Java Suggests to enabled it—
1. Enable Java through your Web browser
2. Enable Java through the "Java Plug-in Control Panel"
3. Clearing your Web Browser Cache

The Control Panel & the Add & Remove program in the control panel say I have Java installed—even have the “Coffee Cup” icon shows in the Control panel.

The Java site still shows it not working in it’s TEST SITE.

The site I’m am trying to access Java Program tells me I have----

"Java version 1.6.0.16 is installed & enabled correctly. The system should function normally."

I know the site I am trying to access is working correctly because I have called their IT people and they can access the site using my password—I can also access the site & the Java part I need on my laptop running Vista.

Please some suggestion/help—I need this for my work & I’m losing my mind.

Thank you,
Paul

Have you tried another browser like Firefox. Most folks use two browsers these days. I only keep IE for updates other than that it is slow and invasive.

JohnT--thanks for the response but I don't want to mess around with other browsers--sorta set on IE.

Close IE.
Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Same thing?

Same problem--this is definitly driving me crazy--do you know of any Malware/Spyware that could cause this problem?

[Broni]

Always a possibility, but before you go there, I'd strongly recommend to install Firefox to see, if same problem persists.
