Well it is so I can see the live timing from the Britcar race at Silverstone

Only when I hit the download botton on the Java.com website it just says

Hmmm. Works for me... Have you got ActiveX controls enabled?

[Racingdude009]

Have just enabled them now but still getting the same message any ideas ?

So why would the site open on your PC and not mine ?

Just guessing now but are popups enabled? And is your firewall being particularly vigilant - you might try explicitly permitting java.com access.

Have you gone here: www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

and tried the offline installation (the 16MB one)? Save that to your desktop and then run it from there.

Still no joy just tried that and I get the same message

Works for me.
Odd that it's still giving you no joy. Have you tried doing the usual? (i.e. clear cache, cookies, reboot PC / Modem / Router, SpyBot S & D, AdAware)
