Up until recently, I was able to launch/open JNLP files in Firefox using Java web start.

Don't know what happened all of a sudden JNLP files stopped launching, a splash screen appears saying Java Starting... and then nothing happens. Even the Java Console in the browser and javacpl.cpl applet doesn't open.

Tried all possibilities: removed all older version and installed the latest JRE (java version "1.6.0_17"), still it doesn't work.

Done some googling for this problem, people suggested to start javaws.exe with -viewer option but same behavior (a splash screen appears saying "Java Starting..." and then disappears)

The problem is that I don't know any place (logs etc.) to look for to see what is causing the problem.

I am using WinXP SP3, and some of the screenshots below shows further info about my system. I can provide any other detail if required but please help me solve this problem.

Update: Although this question is bit old, Following solution fixed above issue for me (indeed this was the actual cause)
