Beach Dog,

That would probably be the safest thing to do.

If you want to tinker first open Java (either version) from the control panel. Select the Browser tab and see if IE & Netscape are checked. If both versions are checked uncheck them both & try. If that works recheck one version & try. If that doesn't work uncheck that version and check the other. That might be worth a few minutes of your time.

I run two versions of Java myself. One for my browsers and one for Limewire but since you have a Java issue I would recommend you uninstall them both if the above doesn't fix it.

Just FYI, I use 1.3.1_04 for Limewire and 1.4.1_04 for my browsers. Not everyone agrees that is the best combo but it works well for me.

I hope this helps you. I went a little deep but I can tell from your post you are computer literate

Good Luck,

Norm
