As another point, the Java 7 should be the 32-bit version, even on a 64-bit Windows 7 system, presumably because EBS needs to run IE9 in 32-bit mode, and some problems may be because the 64-bit Java doesn't mesh with 32-bit IE9 properly in all cases. Uninstalling Java and installing the 32-bit version (of Java 7 revision 17 - not having to revert to some earlier, less secure, version) fixed the problems one of our users was having (thanks to Ehren Benson for figuring this out). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- George J Perkins http://www.pa.msu.edu/people/perkins/ Biomedical Physical Sciences 567 Wilson Road, Room 1209B Phone: 517-884-5467 East Lansing, MI 48824 FAX: 517-353-4500
