I have a similar problem with my copy of IE. All of the sudden, Java
doesn't work in IE. I can't load any applets from any Web page. As far
as I can tell, Java is properly installed and enabled. It works fine in
my other browser, Firefox.

I hope we can both find some kind of solution.

Success with my Java. It now runs fine. There was nothing wrong with it.
Whilst looking around I found that in Task Manager there was a process
running that was taking 98% of the CPU usage, a programme I wasn't even
using. I haven't had any sucess stopping it running from actual PC startup
yet despite trying several options available in the Task Manager. However as
soon as I "end process" (stop this exe file), my CPU usage drops to 4%. My
Java / chess ie Pogo game / Aol runs fine.
If anyone can help me stop this exe file from starting in the first place
please let me know. I may just have to delete the programme as a last resort.

Perhaps if you said what the actual program/process was someone will be
able to help with how to stop it or if it should be stopped.
Have you been into the program and looked at the options or preferences to
see if you can stop it from starting up with Windows.

The file is lvhidsvc.exe I have since found out that many other
people are having problems with this file. It is associated with a TV card.
Hopefully I'll now be able to deal with it. If your Java doesn't run check
for this process taking 98% of your CPU usage.
Thanks everyone for their interest.
