How do I enable Java script

[Guest Ruth L.]

My computer is running IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 and

claims it's Java enabled, but I can't get into a Client for Java

website, and the java tester http://www.javatester.org/enabled.html

also says "This web browser can NOT run Java applets." Can anyone

tell me what to do to get it enabled? I've been through the Tools/

Internet Options/Security/Custom Level routine and enabled Java there,

but still no go.

 

Thanks in advance

Ruth,

 

You should put it to default level in Internet Explorer | Tools menu | Internet

Options | Security tab & click Default Level

 

On the Privacy tab click Medium High

Click Apply | Ok

 

Close All IE Windows

 

If that still doesn't solve it then I guess your firewall is blocking it.

Disable the firewall temporarily & try again. That will prove that

 

Please post back

Newbie,

 

Thanks very much for the advice. I did as you suggested but

unfortunately it still doesn't work. How do I disable the firewall on

my machine?

Ruth,

 

If Windows Firewall - START | CONTROL PANEL | WINDOWS FIREWALL

 

If Norton - right-click the icon in the system tray (near clock) & disable for 5

mins for example

 

If you do indeed have Norton & Ad Blocking is enabled then maybe it will have

Java Applets disabled as default. Clicking the top level of the tree & looking

in the Global settings sill show you.

First of all, Java is NOT JavaScript, in spite of the confusingly

similar names. They are very different things. The

Options/Security/Custom level stuff controls JavaScript (IIRC) and has

nothing to do with Java.

 

Look in your Control Panel. Is there a "Java Plug-in" applet there?

Bring that applet up, go to the "Browser" tag, and make sure that IE

is checked. If the applet isn't there, you probably don't have Java

installed. Go to http://www.java.com/getjava and download it.
