The 3.6 beta versions of LW use the new java--maybe trying the beta will help.

(only available as a Basic version till tomorrow)

Rollback to Quicktime 6.3. There's a probem with Java and the Quicktime update. Apple says:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93414

i did it and it's working again.
Many Thanks
