|  Java stopped working
Ten days after installing W2K, Java stopped working suddenly (really). It does not work with NS7.2 or IE. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and downgraded Java. Same result.
In 4 years of using W98Se and multiple version of NS, I never had any trouble with Java.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks. |

By installing W2K did you upgrade or do a fresh install? What version of Java did you try installing? When you installed did you use the online installer, or the offline installer? What does it do when you try to view a page with an applet on it? Do you get a red X or the java teapot or nothing at all?

| New install, including disk format.
I went from jre 1.4.1-02 (included with NS 7.2), to 1.4.1-07, and back to 1.4.1-02.
I downloaded the java files, and installed from them.
With NS7.2, I get several horizonal red lines, then the browser stops responding.
With IE, I get the red x, and the browser stops responding.
Everything was working fine last week, and yesterday. I did speed tests here, and used a java streaming stock quote applet.
Thanks. |

Had you installed any service packs, or hotfixes, updated anything?

| I installed 'Nero' Sunday, and I ran 'Spybot' and deleted several tracking cookies. I can't think of anything else, but something obviously happened.
I accused my my broker of breaking their applet, until I discovered that speed tests here no longer work. (for me) |

clubs: | have you tried uninstalling it, and then reinstalling it, but using the offline installer? I've seen people have some flakey installs with the online browser. Although none that worked then didn't.

Tucson, AZ | I think that's what I'm doing. I download the ~8MB jre 'application' files, and run them.
Is there some W2K service I accidently turned off? Some oerall network setting? |

| I did that. I got j2re-1.4.2_06-windows-i586-p.exe, which I downloaded, and installed. This is 15.3MB, instead of ~8MB for the other jre downloads.
Same problem.
When I double click the Java Plug-in icon in control Panel, a javaw.exe process is started -- but I see nothing.
Starting Java Web Start produces a javaws.exe process, a javaw process, and what looks like the start window (yellow background, red java, purple - but after a few seconds the window and the javaws.exe disappears.
I think I must have done something to W2K which is causing this behavior. Any idea about that?
Thanks. |

Have you messed around with any of the services, disabling services you didn't think you needed? Can you think of anything else you might have installed other than nero or having spybot delete out cookies?

| I had disabled IPSEC Policy Agent and TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service because I don't use either. But I've long since reenabled them, and also manually started every other service that looked like it might have anything to do with networking.
Nero and spybot are the only new things since last week. I used these for a weekly CD backup. |
