hey guys.

i'm about to kick this piece.. nevermind

ok i'm having Java problems obviously. i have downloaded and installed the newest version of JRE from Sun Microsystems (1.5.0.01). it told me java was successfully installed, yay. i tried the test page on java.com and it tested successfully, but the little figure youre suppose to get only appears for a few seconds then goes away. i have the java icon on the taskbar, and it says in my browser java applet loaded. furthermore, i cant open ANY local java configurations or info. the java control panel comes up, i see the window, but its filled in with grey space, the entire thing. no buttons, options, nothing. this is true for all java windows i can open. starting Java has even CRASHED and rebooted my PC several times. it sucks. here are some screenies from my machine.

Sorry, I have yet to see this problem. I suppose you could try reinstalling it or do a system restore to the point before you installed the java. Then make sure all your windows updates are done, and then reinstalling. I know some java apps require the .Net Framwork thingy(pretty sure it was java anyways), so you might want to make sure you have the latest version of that as well.
 
i installed Microsoft Java Virtual Machine.. its a really old version. it works fine with Java using Internet Explorer. However, i'm a Firefox user of course. anyone have a link to one that will work with FF?
