bank site & enabling java
Probably the easiest (or quickest) ways to get a clean setup of Windows
XP is to get VirtualPC from Microsoft and install a clean copy of Windows XP into a virtual machine. Just do the install of Windows XP, followed by visiting the Windows Updates site as often until all critical and recommended updates are done and no more listed (except do NOT install IE8), and then test what happens when you connect to the bank. |

If you feel these issues with Opera are XP-related, why not start a new
thread here? If you wish to keep Opera and you have specific Opera-related questions, you may post them to: opera.general Good luck. :-) Dallas wrote: thanks so much vanguard, but i dont even understand how to do this. i did install opera as i can get to my bank site thru it, but now i have issues w/ opera cant win for losing "VanguardLH" wrote in message ...
