hi, if you use windows xp, go to control panel, then internet options, advanced and just scroll through until you see java script enable, (about half way down the list). It says requires restart. hope that helps. Joan

From Internet Options (in the Tools menu in IE) go to the Advanced tab. Look for Java (Sun) or Microsoft VM (about half way down). Ensure that either JRE or JIT have ticks at the side. If you have neither of these, you need to download Java. Google Java JRE and click the first link.
