Have you recently upgraded to Internet Explore 6 as well?

A friend of mine from another site has got a similar problem. We've installed a java chat room and he can't get onto it. He's running 98se and I.E 6.0.2600.0000. We've checked out everything in internet options, security tab and advanced tab, and everything is as it should be. He says he's had this problem for the last year or so.
Any ideas?

He could try deleting the ActiveX control in Downloaded Program Files

Done that and it's still not working for him. Thinking about it someone from my site has got the same trouble aswell. She can't use my chat room.

A few months ago Microsoft issued SP1 for XP. Following a legal deal Microsoft were forced to re-issue SP1 but in this re-issue they removed an element of IE6 called Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM). A small move on the face of it, but it means that IE6 is no longer able to run Java applications. This explains the Microsoft view but in real terms it means that anybody who has loaded the second version SP1 is stuck with the problem until Microsoft get round to doing something about it. Putting Java onto a PC is easy enough but unless someone out there can find a copy of the original SP1 we have lost VM.

Unless of course you've got some cdroms from other internet mags. I've suggested he repair IE which he says he has done. Surely this would have fixed his problem. I know that his version of IE is the original IE6 so the VM issue won't affect him.
