Java problem with other program after install of Limewire

[FrankP]

Hey guys,

I really don't want to post this here but since it started happening after the install of Limewire and the attached Java install I'm unable to connect to Yahoo Chat, it gives me a java error. Any ideas, or has anyone else had this problem

Thanks

I ran across a very similar problem. Assuming you're using Java Plug-in 1.31.1, just go to your control panel. From there select "Java Plug-In 1.31....". When you get to this Java Plug-in control panel, on the "Browser" tab, there should be check boxes which enable Java 1.3.1 as the default Java runtime on IE and Netscape. De-select BOTH. Apply these changes and you should be good to go.

Once you go back to Yahoo chat, it'll use IE to load the applet rather than Java runtime. I'm not sure why this setting defaults to "yes", but that is all it should take to correct it.

Sorry for the typos - this is all assuming you're using the Java Plug-in 1.3.1.
