That is indeed the URL of the test applet that I am using.

Have you rebooted since installation of the new Java?
I doubt it will fix the problem - but it is worth a try.


...As noted in
the original message, I rebooted before and after java installation.

Sorry. Missed that detail.

I cannot see any mention of what exact version you are installing.
My IE is reporting '1.5.0_08'* at that applet, with
'Congratulations. The latest version is installe' (also cut off)

* As that the version you are referring to?

Andrew T.

Are you sure that it says 1.5.0_08, not 1.5.0_06? Update 6 is the
latest advertised version available for download, and is what my
browsers are reporting.

Please respond to the Newsgroup, so that others may benefit from the exchange.
