Java not working

midgetski · 9 Feb 2006 at 22:18

I cannot get Java to work in Internet Explorer (I am using the ie7 beta 2). I get a little red cross in the corner. I have tried re-installing Java and have followed the suggestions on the Java website but no luck. Any suggestions?

Use firefox?

I prefer ie and it should work. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

You're using a beta and expecting everything to work?!? Does it work in IE6 or any other browser?

Try downloading the latest Sun package and install it, it should restore your java settings:

also try checking IE's security settings to make sure you have java enabled

Found the answer from another forum:

"Confirmed: I experieced exactly the same problem with 1.5.0_05. Rolling back to 1.4.2_05 fixed the problem, but the app I was using needed the later runtime. Only after uninstalling IPV6 by using the "netsh interface ipv6 uninstall" command was 1.5.0_05 restored to it's former glory.

For those interested, I am pretty sure this co-incided with the installation of Microsoft Codename Max, which is based on WinFX and turns on IPV6 by default (it actually needs it). Shame, because Max was kinda cool."
