Java and Win2k3

[gktam1]

Has anyone ever got a blue screen after launching a webpage that requires java?

I don't get the restart all the time but it is a dam annoying when it does.

Any suggestions for a resolution?

For the short period in which i had Win2k3, java worked fine for me.

I've had no problems under 2k3 Server Standard using the Sun j2re-1_4_1_01-windows-i586-i package, maybe worth trying that one if you're currently using a different release.

try going to this site 2 or 3 times (it should launch the java web start in your taskbar) and see if you get the blue screen:

was all I got, nothing else - same under XP and Linux. Try this JavaTester, see what the java on this page does, it's worked fine for me.

i use a utility that kills noisy javascripts so I do not have any problems

I hate popups

I hate advertisements that popup even more

I have finally found the problem.

It has to do with Internet Explorer (6.013, that comes with win2k3) not launching the JVM properly.

If anyone experiences the same problem, the simplest solution would be to use netscape instead for the time being.
