Windows XP SP2 & Java

[Guest]

I upgraded 1 machines to sp2 last week. Now I am having java issues. I use
fedex.com for shipping on one of the machines and it has the zebra 2844 label
thermal printer. It was working fine for about a year untill the update.
Through fedex.com when I finalise a shipment and I am ready to print my label
a java applet is downloaded and all I have to do is hit print within the
webpage to print the label. Well that button does not do anything anymore.
If I go to File>Print than it prints but prints everything on the page and
not just the label. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the printer
still nothing. I open up the java console and I get this message. <br><img

I have reinstalled Java, I have reverted back to XP SP1 I have ran
virus/trojen/ad checkers I have rebooted 600 times, I have used different
browsers and I get the same error in the console and no labels print.
Outside of fedex.com it works fine. Lets say I open up a notepad doc and
print everything works fine. I have even taken the printer and installed it
on a different machine that has SP2 on it and I get the same error. I
finally installed the printer on a windows 2000 machine and everything works
fine. I have contacted fedex to see if they had any issue or have changed
the applet and they said no. Spent a whole day on the phone with them and
nothing. We messed around with security settings, drivers, software version
and still the same thing.

Anyone with ideas?

Well..., have you already tried to install the Java VM from Sun and to use
that one?

Yes I have. I have done updates to Java I have reinstalled sun Java from
scratch but I get the same problem. I have also done a system restore from a
2 months ago restore point and still the same.

XP SP2 has security restrictions on running 'active' code. The print for the
label probably uses that.

There might be an 'information bar' at the top of the page while on the
site, to enable that.
