Java works under Firefox but crashes Internet Explorer
- by Dominic Grenier
Java works under Firefox and Chrome but not under IE.
Here's what I tried (the advice normally given on forums):
Java applet activated in tools - internet options - security tab - personnalise - Java applets
Activated in tools - manage add-ons - tool bars and extensions - Java (tm) SSV2 helper - Activate
Activated in tools - internet options - advanced tab - Use JRE for applet
I've also deleted my temporary internet files (with Ccleaner),
Reinstalled IE8
It is also set as the default Java for IE through the control panel - Java - Advanced tab - default Java for browsers - Microsoft Internet Explorer
IE version:
8.0.6001.18702
Java version: 1.7.0_03. (also tried with 1.6.0_31)
Windows XP SP3.
Any advice? Thanks :)
edit:
I have activated the ActiveX controls through manage add-ons - all add-ons but now, although the coffe cup loading screen appears (which did not before) it makes IE crash (which is new).
I might have fiddled too much with the registry by trying to completely remove Java to reinstall it, so I ran "rereg" (a tool to repair dlls and their registry entries) without success.
