Re: 2nd time around with help for java

Rhino,
Thanks for your help. I did copy the console when given the option but how
do I past it somewhere? I tried to paste it to my desktop but the option to
paste wasn't there. When I choose copy where does it copy to?
My wife hangs out on a game site called pogo. This is where she was told to
install Java.
I've run ad, spy boot, I just scanned the computer at Trend Micro online
scan. She uses the AVGAS virus program. In all the scans no virus was
found. Trend Micro found 12 spy objects but they were all cookies. She's
on the computer now, I'll try again to copy the console when it pops up. Is
there a way to activate the console. So far the only time I've seen it is
when it pops up on it's own. I haven't been able to make it appear.
Thanks again for your help,
Don.............
