Thanks, Lunarlander. Ill try that. The only XP disk I have is an old one with SP2 on it, and I'll probably need about 3 weeks of updating if MS will still let me have them. I don't have a Disk for W7 at all. I bought W7 on-line from a place called Smart Software who sent me download instead of a disk, promising me that the disk would arrive in "10 business days".. and I'm still waiting.
I've managed to get the Java problem resolved. I used Regseeker to find and remove every mention of Java (there were 3,388 of them) in the registry, then reinstalled it. I had to tweak the settings in the Java Control Panel but I finally got Java noticed by websites. I'm guessing that at least one of them was doing something that blocked the view.
