Well, I've exhausted all of my possibilities, none of the java installs will work, Sun or Blackdown or Netscape. I've also noticed that Konqueror file manager crashes sometimes when I click on a Mozilla directory. There's something very wrong with my installation. Strangely, another computer that I upgraded (this one was a fresh install) works perfectly! Thanks to everyone for all of their efforts. Rich -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
