Hi David, Make sure you have Java Web start installed - it's a standard part of the Java runtime install. Carefully read the above thread particularly by Diego. He lists the modifications required to the jnlp files. Where you see a '+' or '-' at the beginning of a line you either add or delete that line. The only change I needed to make (as noted above) was where you've got paths to the 'jar' files you need to pre-pend the following: "file://localhost/" It works! HTH Chris.
