308503 2004-12-29 04:36:00 I’ve got ClearNet as one of my ISP’s. Just lately I’ve been downloading quite a bit of music so I thought I’d check to see how my bill looked. To do this I was advised that I had to install the latest VM Plug-in from a download site they provided. Having done that everything worked fine but I find I now have a Icon on my desktop called “Java Web Start.”

Can someone explain briefly what “Java Web Start” is all about and what is a VM Plugin? Double-Clicking the Icon wants to hook onto the Internet for some obscure reason. :confused:

Cheers

Bob

Opera and Firefox may also need it. If u have XP SP1 has Java as part of the install.
