Hello Bill, or any that can answer this question. These Blasted Java Update Messages! Everything with my computer is find, and I do not want to change one little thing! I too get these messages from Java, asking me to "update", often at very inconvenient times, when I am right in the middle of writing a document or such. How can I turn off the feature that allows these messages access to my computer? I do not want to update any Java! Any help will be so greatly appreciated! I am using XP-Home and Windows 9. with I E 7 With Best Regards, Alan Miami, Florida Alan Dicey, President United States Braille Chess Association - USBCA "Yes, Blind or Visually Impaired People Can, and Do, Play Chess!!!"

Today, I was asked about updating my HP printer software. I went ahead and agreed to it. In the past days, I'm prompted about updating Java scripts. What are Java scripts, and do I need to update them? Becky
