I couldn't do either, so I redownloaded the newest JRE. I can now get to the thing in the control panel, but I still (couldn't even before all of this) can't get java applets to work with IE6 at all. They work fine when I use Netscape, but not when I use IE6. I've reinstalled both IE6 and the JRE, with no luck. On the Java site, after I DL it, it showed the coffee cup and said it was a success. I went to our news page, and I still cannot see the news scroller or the fader in the upper right corner. (Both just solid white rectangles) Yahoo games do not work with IE6 either. It's not a great disadvantage to me, but I sure would like to get that shit working propely. Anybody have any ideas?
