first we need you to fill in your system specs (lower left corner of y our posts) so we know what hardware you have.

then you need to tell us more about the problem. are you using a download manager, what browser are you using, what does the errors (if any) say

using the buil in snipping tool (type snipping tool in search) can y ou take a screenshot and upload it to us. to upload you use the attachment icon (shaped like a paperclip) in the reply form

Click to expand...

OK I still need to know how much ram, 32bit or 64, what browser, when did it start, what happened to make it start, etc

we really need more info


ken

IE7 (Browser) it started 1st day i got vista

whats ram

Bertooo,

Instead of clicking on RUN, click on SAVE instead. Save it to your desktop, and see if you can run it from there instead.

Hope this helps,

tools/internet options/select the security tab

uncheck "enable protected mode" apply/ok etc

restart IE and try again

oh and while your there make sure your security settings are MEDIUM/HIGH you will notice this says unsigned active X controls will not be downloaded , your issue is exactly what would happen if the active X control was unsigned , Jave however is signed so the issue must lie elsewhere
