I have already tried that *sigh*! ... However, I did notice that in Applications/Utilities/Java folder I both the Java 1.3.1 Plugin Settings and the Java 1.4.2 Plugin Settings. Perhaps I did the install wrong? I did not delete anything before installing the 1.4.2 update. (I'm pretty sure I used the Standalone version you pointed me to because I saw the link in another thread.)
