That was it. 'Twas the Java setup. Though executing JView showed that latest version was in place, it appears to have taken a sabbatical. Proof of the pudding was in attempting to run the recommended speed test which gave the same hokey screen output. I munged around the site some and somehow stumbled upon a post about similar problems using XP w/SP1. He posted a link to the msjavx86.exe on the MS site which I downloaded and executed. Problem fixed. Web access to the VNC host (along with other Java functions) now works as it should. Thank you.

I don't have any problems using WinXPSP1 and IE6.0SP1. Have you tried re-downloading the JVM from Microsoft, or trying the Sun JRE? Do other Java based applets work (http://javaboutique.internet.com/ has some to test, or the Speed Tests from http://www.dslreports.com )? -- William _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
