Hi Els and SteveG,
I have enabled Java and JavaScript (and everything else) in Firefox. At
some stage, I have installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.3 on my
computer to run a particular program, and that particular website
cannot run with JavaScript from JRE1.3. However, when I am checking my
web browser with the http://www.cyscape.com/showbrow.aspx?bhcp=1 , it
says that my browser is using Sun's Java vesion 1.4.2 which is
acceptable for the picture-hosting website. I tried to uninstall Sun's
JRE 1.3 (and left untouched JRE 1.4.2), but it gives no effect.
I went to the "Control Panel" on my MS Windows XP SP1, and saw there
"Java Plug-in" both from MS ("Virtual Machine") and from Sun. I clicked
on Sun's (?) "Java Plug-in" and saw that the box for only "Internet
Explorer" box is checked to make it using the Java Plug-in. I checked
the box next to "Mozilla" to nake it using the Java Plug-in, but the
window popped up saying that the computer was "Unable to change browser
settings". I made a search on the Internet to learn how to manage this
problem. This indeed was a common problem, but no cure was offered.
This was when I wrote to this Usenet group.
