Hi :)
Hmm, weird. Perhaps it's too high a version of java? Is it using a more
recent version than 6u21?
Regards from
Tom :)

Her laptop is faster than my quad. It is a desktop replacement.
There is hardly any space used on the drive itself. She has not had
time to place anything on it.
I wish I had a machine as fast as her laptop.
I still have to add Virus protection and other utilities as well. LO
was the first package to be installed on the thing. I added some video
files [less than 3 Gig total] to the laptop so she could watch them later.
So I doubt it is an issue with a too full system or one needing to be
defragged, etc., etc.. She has had it less than 1 week and I said, I
was the first one to place anything on the drive. She does not even
have Internet yet.
