Hi Magick, This is a very interesting approach to getting around the problem. I've always wondered if most of the 'updates' to Java were specifically made so that advertisers could do more to keep their junk in our faces. If the old version doesn't prevent any 'normal' surfing, it tends to help support that lousy thought. I really appreciate you sharing this workaround. :O) Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Magick" <alienkc@xxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:49 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Puter freezes after Java update >I am not Gman but I deal with ppl at work who need the java to run parts of > the web page we supply them. > Always when they update the Java..it messes things up.
