OK. Here's what I've done. Since I have other

machines that work and only the one that doesn't

work properly I took one that works as a baseline to

compare the non-working one to. They're basically
identical (W4FP14) only with different video cards.

The video cards shouldn't matter, however, because

another machine with the same video card works fine.

Both machines have the exact same IBM Java

Properties settings in Navigator as allows:

1) Javapath was set to C:\JAVA11\DLL\JAVAI.DLL
2) No Java options were set (although I tried the

-nojit option on the non-working machine once but it

didn't change anything)
3) Radio button to ignore changes to Classpath was

set with the following list:

c:\javaos2\lib\jempcl10.zip;.\.;c:\java11\lib\SecMA.

jar;

I checked the integrity of all three files against

one another on the two machines and they checked out

fine (both are running the most recent Hursley

updates).

Let me clarify what I mean by non-working, too.

Even the non-working machine reports itself as Java

compliant. I found a couple of test pages on the

net that say that the browser, even on the

non-working machine, is Java-enabled (i.e., "If you

can seen this, you are Java compliant" with some

silly little applet running in the browser window).

So, running Java within the Netscape window looks

okay. However, the Yahoo games require running the

Java apps within their own window and this is where

it stumbles. Anything where the icon in the upper

left corner of the window is the Java "J" instead

of, say, the Navigator ship's steering wheel is a

problem. That's probably why the Java console

doesn't come up. The console is apparently a Java
app itself. (To try it yourself, from Navigator, go

to the Communicator menu -> Tools -> Java console).

On the working machine it comes up fine but not the

non-working one.
