Which OS & browser? XP/IE? 1)Try restoring the defaults in the browser. 2)Try repairing IE. 3)Have all the MS critical updates & patches been applied? 4)Update the Virtual Machine program at the Microsoft Windows update site. This is Microsoft?s version of Java that is compatible with the Sun Java plug-in. You can find the Sun Java plug-in at the link below: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/ 5)Though this may seem to be overkill, try doing all the suggestions offered here though they may appear not to apply to your present situation: http://www.updatexp.com/0x800A138F.html 6)If all else fails, try Mozilla 1.5 & verify if error persists even with Mozilla.
