| 370875 | 2005-07-10 01:37:00 | Hi Folks. I like doing crosswords and used to do the daily one on www.stuff.co.nz but of late I have been a little busy and it is a few months since I last did the crossword. Now when I try to open the crossword page using Firefox I get a window stating "click here to download plugin" I click and FF checks and advises the following plugins are available - Java Runtime Enviroment. I click next to instal the plugins and it says "FF is installing the plugins" but nothing happens ie there is no indication that anything is being downloaded, no matter how long I sit and wait. So I then have to click next and it says FF has finished installing plugins: Java Runtime Enviroment - Installed. But I still cannot open the Stuff crossword page because "I havent got the plugins" Same as OE. I try to open the same page using OE and it says "You need Java enabled to view crossword applet" But as far as I can see Java is enabled. Under "Options" - Security - Java permissions has a dot alongside "High Priority" So I cannot open the crossword page in either browser which is strange. Can anybody please give me their thoughts on why I have now this problem. OS - XP2 AMD Athlon 3200 Thanks Smithie |

| 370877 | 2005-07-10 02:24:00 | Thanks Speedy Gonzales for your reply. No it stated that they were not able to detect my Java Runtime Enviroment, so I am now downloading the 2nd option offline instal 15.5mb. Hopefully this will fix the problem Cheers Smithie |

| 370878 | 2005-07-10 02:53:00 | No worries . Jview is for Microsoft's own Java . And only gets installed with SP1 . (XP doesn't install Java by default) . SP1a for XP, doesn't install Java either . For sun's Java, there should be (if it's installed), JS2E Runtime Environment (version number) . In Add/remove programs . |

| 370879 | 2005-07-10 04:13:00 | Hi Speedy Gonzales. When I tried to instal I got an error notice - Cannot create the directory C:\Programe Files\Java. A file with this name already exists. Maybe I was on the wrong track, so for a dummy like me, when you say go to the command prompt, where do I find that to start with. Thanks Smithie |

| 370880 | 2005-07-10 05:14:00 | Hmm see if the entry JS2E Runtime Environment 5 . 0 . xxxx (or another version) is in add/remove programs . You may have to reboot . If it is uninstall it . Then delete c: / program files/java . Then reinstall the file u downloaded today . To get the command prompt go to start/all programs/accessories/command prompt . Type in jview . If it says not recognised, this means Microsoft's java isnt installed . |

| 370881 | 2005-07-10 06:52:00 | Hi. I uninstalled JS2E Runtime Enviroment 5.0 from add/remove, then reinstalled the file I downloaded, and hey presto I can do my crosswords etc again. Many thanks for your help - much appreciated Smithie |
