I can't tell when it started, but it was after Internet Explorer updated to IE8. Basically any-ANY-page I go to that involves any kind of applet (specifically Java), I get an error. I will see the Java loading visual, and then I see a red x:error. The error details are: the application failed to run. I've opened a ticket w/ Microsoft, and after an hour of them taking control of my computer they were unable to solve the problem. I have installed Google Chrome and tried going to a page w/ a Java Applet, and I get the same exact error w/ Chrome. I've done all of the internet options choices (allow Java applets, etc.) Java is also unable to help me, this is my only hope! Please, any suggestions??
