Java no longer working on IE7

I have Vista Home Premium SP!, IE7. After that last IE update, Java no longer works on IE7, even though it says it is installed. Any ideas?

I just did a update check, and found no updates. I've not found an IE update in quite some time. Perhaps, it's a virus? Malware? I don't know what to say. I, too, have Vista Home Premium SP1, and use Java everyday. Do you have the latest build of Java? If not, it's on Filehippo.com.

Do you think, perhaps, you can show a pic of what it says or does when it "doesn't work"?

IE just had an update last week. Came out with the rest of Microsoft's fixes on Patch Tuesday.

Ahhh... Security upgrade. I don't really look at them. >.>

Anywho; like I said, I haven't had any problems with Java, since the upgrade. 10/06/2008, right?

Hi Stephen,

A similar situation occurred about 4 weeks ago.

See this thread and I think you will keep a lot of possible problems from occurring besides solving your current problem.

Actually, I was using Secunia to check out updates when I discovered the java problem. I've finally gotten it fixed - by uninstalling the regular java and installing the latest beta build (10). The latest regular version doesn't work.

Another weird thing - when I tried this morning to open the link in my email notification to this thread, I was not able to do so. I got an error message saying "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please check with your system administrator". I've never had this happen before. Does anyone know what this is about?

When strange things start occurring,the first thing I do is run several security scans.

:) davey 1 thing happens it is to be expected.2 things it is time to get serious.

P.S. Did you uninstall the latest Java and then install it again.Then try it out.

The Beta version may be causing problems itself.

Did you also get JavaRa and clean out all the old Java stuff.

Tried all that - didn't help.

Don't forget the basic uninstall/install stuff like reboot.

Brings in nice fresh copies of stuff. :P Never hurts especially with weird stuff happening.

Why is that your immediate reaction?

It's looking like related to IE, not Vista. And for the record, I had more issues with XP over the years than I've had with Vista.

For those of you offering actual suggestions, thanks!

Stephen, have a look here, can you see the videos Anthony has linked to?

I can. I've had to uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security 7 - something between it and IE 7 aren't playing nice.

Has that solved your java problem with IE7?

It has.

Now - when I go into the Security Center, it says both Kaspersky and Windows Firewall are on - even though I uninstalled Kaspersly and cleaned out the registry. Any ideas why this is?

Sometimes the security centre can get a bit confused. if you are ABSOLUTELY sure Kaspersky is gone and have done a reboot and it still shows, you could have a read here, in particular method A.

Make a restore point first.
