Bobby go to Internet Explorer Tools and open Java Console. Do you have Java installed? I would assume that you do and it's turned on since that Jigsaw puzzle displays for you.

I can't imagine what the problem would be. The first time I ran Secuni it told me I didn't have Java installed but did I want to run it anyway and I said yes. There was no problem, it completed just fine. Now it shows that I do have Java installed. Did you get a box telling you that you didn't have Java installed?

Copy and paste the URL for Secuni into Netscape and try running it from there. If it says you don't have Java installed and do you want to run it anyway say yes.

This may be what you will see when you press the Start Now button in Netscape.

Go here to see if you have Java installed and what if any version.

I evidently now have Java Runtime Version 1.5.0_10 installed on my PC because it will now run Secunia Software Inspector. I am now attempting to update Apple Quicktime, Adobe Reader and other outdated software to the reccommended versions. Did you do all of the reccommended updates on all of the reccomended programs? If my system programs are that bad out of date why does it run so smoothly?

rb2d2 · Sep 25, 2004

Just cause some of your programs are out dated doesn't mean they won't run correctly. Most updates are only to close some security hole. However some updates are a vast improvement and have extra features, bells and whistles.

I have now updated just about everything they suggested. Not WinZip because I would have to pay all over for a newer version. The one I have is just fine. Probably a few years behind but that's ok, it zipps and unzipps with the best of them

I didn't update Eudora because I don't use it except once in a blue moon if that often and it too has to be paid for after a certain version number. Don't know if my version is still in the free update span or not.

What I DON'T understand is how you were able to view page with Java if you didn't even have Java installed!

BTW when you installed the updated QuickTime I hope you unchecked the box that said for it to check for updates automatically! That's what drove fishead nuts, it kept putting itself in start up every time he rebooted or booted up the PC. There is no need for QuickTime to start up when Windows loads.

If you didn't uncheck the box you can still fix that in preferences. You DON'T want it to check for updates automatically.
