IE connection to java corrupt

[Rose]

I can't get IE to recognize that I have Sun Java loaded on my computer;
Mozilla, on the same computer, recognizes it. I don't use I.E. much, but
this is annoying and if anyone can tell me how to solve it, I'd
appreciate it. Under Tools/Internet Options/Advanced, I do have Sun Java
checked, but when I try to access anything that uses Java, it pretends
like I don't have the applet. If I click 'Sun Java Console' under Tools,
nothing whatsoever happens. I'd like to uninstall and reinstall IE to
see if that fixes it, but I can't see how to do that and I don't know if
it's even advisable. Any ideas for me? TIA!

As you did not post the version of Windows or IE you are using, I can only
make a general guess. You might try the following and see if it helps:

Hi

you would find an icon related to java in control panel.
please check whether internet explorer is checked under
browsers tab or not.

try restoring internet explorer defaults and reset web
settings of internet explorer

I have the same problem. I was reading the posts on the
Knowledge Based guide on Java's site. I think the problem
might be with older versions of some sort of the code on
the websites we are trying to access

Thank you, Narendra -- IE was checked under the browsers tab and I reset
my web settings, but no luck. Any other ideas for me?

Thank you, Jan! Oddly, when I go to that javascript testing site in I.E.
(btw, I'm using XP and 6.0 -- sorry I failed to mention that first time
around), it says my browser passes all the tests. This didn't really
surprise me because I have Sun Java checked in the Tools/Internet
Options/Advanced tab. I have SP2's firewall turned off, as I use
Norton's, so that can't be what's blocking it. That's why I say I think
something is corrupted, because all indications are that java is enabled
(it certainly works fine on the same computer in Mozilla, which is what
I usually use), but when I go to sites that use java using IE, I get the
message "java is not enabled in your browser." Any other ideas for me?
