Hi

Just wondering if anyone can help with a quick question on Java.

A friend of mine has just discovered the internet. Her machine is a Pentium
1 100 running windows 95. I have tried to show her how to use the Yahoo chat
System which uses Applet windows but I keep getting an error message saying
"Java is not enabled".

I have downloaded internet exporer 5.5 and installed it on her system and
enabled the java setting in the security section of the internet options BUT
the same problem happened.

I have checked my own system which runs W98 and IE5.5 and there is
additional Java settings in the security section of internet options which
dont appear on my friends machine.

I have a suspicion it may be that W95 may not support Java / Applets the
same as W98???

Would this be the problem??? and if so is there a way around the problem by
installing a W95 update?? as my friend  is only new to computers and is not
really keen to upgrade her OS till she understands computers a little. (IE:
dosent yet want to spend anymore $$)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in Advance!!!


Cheers!.... Gary.............
