After SP2 cannot access my bank

[mac]

After the SP2 update, now I get a Java script error, denied permission
box -> click OK to get out the box and I cannot access my bank account
online. The bank uses Java driven menus .

Any thoughts about what to disable to make it work again?

Have you tried adding your bank's website address(es) to your Trusted Zones
in IE?

Thanks, But it didn't fix it.... It has something to do with Java...

Do you have the Sun Java client installed?

I had the same issue with my bank after SP2 . Per chance are you running
Zone Alarm Pro or another third party vendor Firewall? I am running Zone
Alarm Pro and even after going into IE and adding my bank to Trusted Sites I
had to go into Zone Alarm (Privacy Section)>Site List and add my banks IP.
Then I had to for each section (after you add your banks IP) right click
every red X choice options and uncheck all the check marks for Cookies, Ad
Blocking and Mobile Code. Only then could I log onto my bank. Hope this
helps.
Just my humble and inexperience opinion.

You will probably need to reinstall Java, especially if your XP installation
was an early version - these included Java, SP2 does not.

Names can be confusing, there is Javascript and there is Java, two different
animals. I believe SP2 deletes all the software needed to run Java. I had
the Sun Hotspot Java installation on my machine and use that to run a bunch
of software that I've written. After SP2 that had vanished. Now I have to
go get all the Java software from Sun again and re-install it. But Javascript
is a completely different issue.

So, you can look carefully at the exact wording of the error messages.
And try searching via google to see if you can determine whether it is
Javascript or Java that you need for the banking.

THen the whole business can be made more complicated by security and
permissions either allowing scripting and/or executables. The menu
of choices in Internet Explorer seems like it could be more understandable
by the typical user, so that they could decide what to enable, what to
disable, and what the consequences of this is.

No it doesn't - if the MS engine was installed and up to date it will be
left in place (might delete a very old endangered version, but I doubt
it). In Internet Options - Advanced, under Microsoft VM make sure that
'JIT compiler' is checked. And a particular case like this *might* need
Java console enabled too.

Also if you *have* installed the Sun Java - which may not work with some
sites - go to its applet on the Browser page and uncheck it for use with
IE so that gets the MS one instead, and see if that now works

I open up a Cmd window.

I CD to my java source directory and look at the code I wrote and compiled
and compiled and ran on this machine in the last weeks and months.

I type 'javac'

It prints "'Javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

That was what made me believe that my Sun Hotspot suite had been deleted.

I had my response to you all ready and loaded... but just to be absolutely
certain I searched the entire filesystem for Java*

And Javac is still there! It appears that somehow the PATH was clobbered.
But that the Java suite wasn't deleted. So now I have to figure out what
happened to my PATH environment variable, and any other variables I had
set up.

My apologies for my error, it doesn't appear that SP2 deletes Java.
