I had to set up a new laptop. The screen on this old one is dying. Set up Internet Explorer on the new laptop but cant use 10E. I get a security prompt blocking java from working. Java is up identically to my old laptop but no go. Waterfox doesn't work either. Any ideas? I may take the new laptop back and just see if I can get the old one fixed.

Hmm. Does the exact same message show up in both IE and Waterfox? Any chance you could take a screenshot of it? There could be a few things going on...

I've taken some screen shots. Where do you need me to send them? I get a security warning about the program being blocked due to security settings. On WaterFox all I get is a blank page, no warnings or security prompts.

If you could, toss the shots up on imgur.com and link here in a comment.

Actually, I made an example. Does it look like this?

If yes, then that probably means that the settings in the Java control panel aren't quite right. I think it can be quite picky. Here's mine looks like on Win 10:

That is exactly what it looks like. I tried your setting example in the control panel but get the same warning.

You might have to close all the IE windows before it takes effect. I got bit by that once. If that doesn't do it, then I'm not sure. This is one of those "it should be working" type things. I don't think I changed any other security settings on my Win10 test machine other than the ones I showed.

Ah! I just saw your update. Believe it or not, I think the trailing slash in the security list entries matter. So it it should be

http://www.10eastern.com/ <- with that last slash

I need to go take some meds. My carpel tunnel syndrome is acting up. I'll check in in the morning. Would it be possible to do a remote access off this machine?

Remote access: Possibly? I've never really tried with anything that wasn't really Linux-y. I'll do a little reading about it and get back to you tomorrow if you still have no luck.

Rats, never mind the slashes idea. I just tried it and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Ok, one last comment, but I think this might be it. Judging from your screen shots, you're going to http://10eastern.com and not http://www.10eastern.com and the missing www does make a difference. So, add another security exception for http://10eastern.com or add the www to the url in IE.

Added the www. but no go. Is it possible that antivirus or windows security is preventing this?

It's possible? I sort of don't think so because the message is coming from Java itself, so its getting pretty far in the process. I'd expect antivirus or whatever to block it sooner. Shoot me an email (in my profile) if you wanna try more stuff.

I sent you an email. I'll be on and off the site through out the evening.

Email failed to send. I added my email to my profile.
