Hi I have XP with the latest IE. I have a problem when I go to sites that require java, eg yahoo games. many other java sites allow the java script to work, indeed i have installed sun java.

The specific complaint is that when I go to yahoo games i clikc on a game to play, (fine) takes me to link, click on a button that should load the host room, but instead all my IE windows disappear from screen.

I have checked that the java box is checked on IE options, but am lost as to why this is occuring.

any help greatly appreciated!.

(ps cant reintall IE as I have recently moved, and am unableto locate CD

Sure ,here is the link

thanks i have installed VM, but with regards to the java site even clicking on the link causes the IE window to close.

I have even tried right clicking and opening link in new window, this just has the result of closing both IE windows??????

ok have you updated your browser through microsoft lately? mine is 6.0.2900.2180
go to browser "help" then "about internet explorer" and see what version you have.also are you spyware free?

[gibber0101]

yes i have the same version as you, at present running ad aware, and norton internet security, i ran it over a week ago when i still had this prob and nothnig came up. Ill let you know what result says now, im trying to get a friend to dl the file and email to me

[gibber0101]

yeh just checked, no virus or spyware

[merlin811]

ok go to control panel & see if you have a Java icon if you do see what version it is.plus it has an update console, try to update it that way then get back to me.

[gibber0101]

i have sun java, and do have an icon in control panel, when i right click it only offers to open it or create shortcut, when i double click it the mouse changes to a timer for a sec, and then goes back to normal, nothing seems to change. also i have checked the security settings under IE, they were at custom, with java permissions set to high, i reduced to med, and then low, and also set the IE security to med, all have had no effect.

Sorry it took so long to get back...Anyway uninstall java completely then restart your PC & go to java.com that should work...i just tried it on a customers pc here that has about the same problem as you...
