I install MSVM for IE on SP2 (since it was part of SP1). That doesn't work on FF, so it needs Sun.

LOL! :-) -Clint Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" You also need to do the same for IE and any other browser installed on XP SP2 or SP1a, or windows 2003 as they do not have any JVM or JRE. No Java installed and no browser will run applets. Pain pills and antibiotics? More Christmas goodies Clint?
