Try downloading the 32 bit offline installer from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and check the signature to make sure it downloaded ok (open windows explorer, right click jre-8u45-windows-i586.exe, left click properties, select digital signatures tab, hilight the one & only signature, click details - you should get "The digital signature is OK") install that & reboot. java should at least show up in the plug-ins pane. It's been a while since I've had java installed, so I don't remember if you have to enable it in SM or what Lee _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
