Here's one solution: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...292#post154292

Else, yes reinstall your Java using the standalone installer. That means not using Softw Update program! But downlding the Java installer. If it won't let you install it then go to the Receipts folder & remove the Java version listed. Check the stickies here & in General Mac OSX section for sample images & links. One Java to try is http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...update142.html

YAY ! it works, love ya work lord of the rings

Which solution worked?
