View Full Version : Trouble with JAVA applets and SP2

I'm noticing that certain sites I frequent that use JAVA applets are not
functioning properly after my SP2 installation. Specifically at
www.broadbandreports.com when I run the tweak test using an applet it
normally produces a "results" button which will take me to another page.
Nothing happens when I click on it. The same is true for the
www.speakeasy.com speed test, which uses an applet that normally links
automatically to the results page. Again, nothing happens.

I have the latest version of Sun's JAVA. Is anyone else experiencing this or
have some knowledge of a workaround?

I've got SP2 and the latest Java (1.4.2_05) and go to Speakeasy's testing
sites all the time, no problems here. There's something else going on...
You could try uninstalling Java (add/remove programs) and reinstalling it.

Thanks, but I tried that already.
