computer problem: java

soda · Post by **soda** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 9:18 am

I got a new computer with a bunch of bells and whistles but for some reason when I try and view this weather page it won't work. This is the text that I see:

Your browser either does not support java or you have disabled it.

How do I make this page show up properly. I've even tried setting my security settings to low and it still doesn't work. I wouldn't think this would be a problem.

Any solutions?

Umm... silly question, but did you install the Java plugin?

If not, you can get it here: http://www.java.com/en/ (from Sun Microsystems)

maybe not.... I'll give it a try. I would have thought it came installed but I've not gotten a new computer in a long time. I'm so excited about it though. It even has a built in coffee cup holder on the side that kinda ejects out when you press the button. This thing is awesome!

I'll let you know.

Last I checked, most new machines don't necessarily come with the Java plugin installed... soo, I hope that's all you need - if it is, at least it's a simple fix

....coffee cup holder....

It worked!!!! Thanks!! Next question is I keep seeing this notice in various programs that I have to press "Any Key". I can't seem to find the Any Key on this keyboard. Do I need to install something for that too?

hahahahaha.. thanks again

Glad you got it workin' though!

yeah... they're old and silly but they still make me laugh too. Probably because I'm old and silly. What does that make you?

Hmm... good question.

Probably just makes me a nerd.
