runtime error

Sep 16, 2005 12:08AM PDT

I am running on Windows 2000 workstation and recently updated my Java program to latest version. Now I get a runtime error on every page I open. I am not a tech person so need a simple solution if possible.
Thanks,
Bob

Can be a sign of spyware.

Here's why. Not every page requires java. So your claim instantly makes me think your machine has some pests or spyware.

For now...

1. Find a HIJACKTHIS FORUM with google.com to post your log.
2. Start using Mozilla and/or Firefox.

solved the problem

As it turned out I also recently downloaded the latest version of secretmaker. Once I turned it off things work normally. Conflict I guess. I use spybot and adaware and keep them very up to date. Also use Google and Yahoo antispy as I hate popups (who doesn't, right?). Thanks for your reply.
