Whenever I bring up the Java Control panel -- either from IE or from the
Control Panel itself, all I get is a blank window. What could be wrong with
the system/installation?
TIA

I tried. But before it would install that it insisted on installing an
Active-X update and that failed because it couldn't "download" one of the
required files. Multiple retries were useless.

Any other suggestions?

THANKS! THAT WORKS. (I'm shouting for joy.)

Hmm ... I wonder what could be wrong with my system ... I'm sure that
not everybody's attempt to do the automatic thing fails so why would my
system be unable to download a single, specific file?
