Hi,
I wanted to go do some crosswords in Yahoo.com and this is what it said and I don't know what to do:

The interactive crossword is not available on the web browser that you are using. Please enable Java or upgrade to the latest version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Version:6.0.2800.1106xpsp 030422-1633

What can I do?

If you look in the title bar of IE under Help
and the item at the bottom of the menu you'll find the version number you are using
The latest version can be downloaded from here:
www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx#XSLTfullModule123121120120
Or use this link instead which will scan your computer for any updates off the Microsoft site
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
If it recommends a service pack update for your computer setup accept it Its a lot smaller than the full IE download and it has lots of fixes in it
Due to the large size of the program, download this program first It will keep it saved even if you want to do something else or the electic fails (about 7mins on dialup)

Leave the Java program till later

I remembered this
Have a go at this lot www.crossword-puzzles.co.uk/
These are Java as well (I posted this about a month ago)
There are dozens listed(from many sources) and they are all current
If this works then it is a Yahoo cookie that is causing the error Tell us if that happens and we can deal with it

Sorry, you need a Java-enabled browser for the Daily Crossword. This is what it said on the site you sent me.

I trust that you are using Internet Explorer 6. If it is, got to "Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/scroll down about 1/2 way down to Java or Microsoft VM" & make sure that you have the Java stuff enabled. If you are using FireFox, then, you will have to go to HERE FOR JAVA. Download & install.

Try the link if it works then the error is elsewhere
This is the java software download link http://java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp
Runs automatically I think you have to do a "reset" when it finishes ? Other than that everything will work smoothly after this is installed (another longish download sry!)
Then try the 2nd Crossword link enjoy!

I have Internet 6 an went to advanced and nothing says Java or Microsoft VM???????
