WFM on Win XP Pro.

The loading of the page freezes while the Java plug-in (I'm using 1.4.2) fires up.
Because I found JPINSP.dll in C:\Program File\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin, I think that
it is the plug-in that is causing the crash.

Okay, I reinstalled the Sun Java 2 JRE 1.4.2_02 for Windows and now it seems to
be working. There's apparently a Java applet in the left navigation bar on the
main page. However it didn't work until I re-installed it and before that I had
previously updated to Mozilla 1.5 RC2, when the crash started to occur, so it's
apparently a bug as you can't be expected to re-install the JRE just because of
that. Trying to access the site without Java causes no problems.

Closing as WFM.
