2

In IE, go to Tools / Internet Options / Custom Level…to what are you Java Permissions set?

4

Does it say anything in the bottom status bar when you try a page with Java?

5

Smackfu, it doesn’t say anything in the status bar when I try to load a Java page other than “Done”.

Sorry, I forgot a tab! It should be Tools / Internet Options / Security / Custom Levels.

Again, I’m so sorry about the omission.
