Re: JRE and Browser Plugin Problems

Hello Roland,

That just might be the problem, although I've manually gone in and
tried a couple different permission settings in Norton to allow them to
connect. This sounds like it might fix the Thunderbird problem, but
I'm stumped as to why my Java Control Panel won't open. Thanks very
much for your suggestion.
