G'day Dave, Thanks for your note, and I'm very flattered you recall working for all those hours trying to get JRun working on my pc. I certainly recall it, because I couldn't believe you'd spend that much time on my problem. I was grateful then, and I'm still grateful. What I ended up doing back then, was reformatting my drive, installing WinXPPro, then loading CFMX6.0 onto the bare-bones Windows. Then I added everything on top of that. Obviously, whatever was preventing JRun from working was one of my other apps, or perhaps McAfee anti-virus. Now I'm up against the exact same problem. CF7 can't find a JRun to connect to. I've tried abandoning CF7 and going back to CF6.1, but I hit the same brick wall again. My problem really boils down to finding out what it is outside of CF that is preventing JRun from installing correctly. I suspect it's likely to be the same thing that prevents Central apps running, and when I go to Macromedia to download CF7, it says the page cannot be displayed. (While other people can) So as I see it now, I have only a few alternatives, since I can't go forward to CF7 or back to CF6 : [A] Reformat my hard drive and start all over again. Install WinXPPro, then SP2, then CF7. Then spend days reinstalling all my apps. (sigh - only if I can't find another way out of this mess). [B] Find out and solve what's stopping JRun from installing and running properly. (that might also solve several other problems too). I've decided to go with [B]. It will also mean having a go at using CF7 with the built-in server, as you suggest. Perhaps that will get around this brick wall. Further down the road, I think I have to bite the bullet and rebuild this machine anyway, but it's not an option right now. Not for a month or so at least.
