I didn't realize I could disable the java program for certain functions in control panel. I'll do some experimenting around and see if I can configure things in order to use it for limewire. The site that it isn't compatible with has a "java applet" that you have to install once, it's a storage facility where I put large wav files, later to be retrieved by my subcontractors for transcription. When I had the sun java from limewire it would automatically open instead of this other thing I needed at the storage site, creating inability to upload to the site. So if I disable sun java in the control panel from activating while I'm using my browser (IE), that will take care of this problem? I'll give it a try anyway. I assume after re-installing the java I will see "java" in the control panel choices? I don't see any java now there, just the usual "add/remove programs", "mouse", etc. etc. Or do I go to one of these things I already have and look within it for java?
