I uninstalled Java from Control Panel yes. where Could I get a a download manager for Java? I have just reinstalled a fresh installation of windows xp operating system as well on this brand new computer, ran antivirus scans and such. So far not traces of spyware or viruses and computer runs really fast and smooth. The error messages I received are not uncommon from the Java website where I downloaded the file, so at least I'm not the only one who has this problem
. Thanks for your replies and help.
