Because of a court decision Microsoft will stop all Java support after 30
SEP 04 and is recommending that you use the Sun JRE:

or..........
You can get the new Sun Java J2SE RunTimes or SDK here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html (all versions - select using the
dropdown)
or here:

Sun also offers an automatic download and install of the 1.4 Java plug-in

Or you can download it from one of these locations:

Problems with secure sites - Courtesy of Robert Aldwinckle
Try turning on prompts for Cookies and Active Scripting so you can tell if
anything is happening. You could also open the TIF viewer and see if you
already received it. Make your view Details and order by Last Accesssed.
The Cookie appears as a txt file. There is also a request to use ActiveX
which I couldn't see where it was being used but there is a script which
checks whether the browser can handle Shockwave Flash so I suspect there may
a be check for it which I missed somewhere.
The point is that all of that gets done before the page starts being
rendered; so either your User-Agent string or your version of Flash may be
affecting what else is being loaded and it may be that which is causing the
404.
If you don't want to bother with prompting you would also get a different
result simply by using the Security tab slider and setting it to High.
Don't forget to set your security settings back to whatever they were (e.g.
click Default) after testing.

Flash & Shockwave not working
A few of things could contribute to the problem. Have you checked your
firewall to see if the ad-blocker or Flash blocker is set to on or block?
Also, there are several Pop-up blockers that will block Flash unless you
turn it off. I had POP-UP Blocker and it would not open Flash at all, and
it took me a while to figure out what was doing it When I unchecked the
Kill Flash it stopped. Some Flash has pop-ups and the blockers will see
them as ads or and kill it any way.
Also, if you have SpywareBlaster installed, be sure you have Kill Flash
unchecked - Open SpywareBlaster - Tools - Click on Flash Killer then uncheck
"Switch off Flash Player" or in v3.1 Disable and block Macromedia Flash (4X
5X & 6X) in Internet Explorer.
or..........................
Disable Flash Player
See: Disable Flash:

or..............
Remove Flash, including all registry entries for it. Reboot then go to
Macromedia's site. Since it is Flash based you should get the dialog to
install Flash. Use the removal information at their site here:

or.........
Enable Flash in SP2
Internet Options> Advanced> Security> Check "Allow active content to run in
files on My Computer"
You will, of course, be giving up some of the security provided by SP2.
You can also make My Computer visible in Internet Options> Security to allow
additional tweaking.
