Hi Mystry,

I tried downloading the second Java program (offline) from sunjava, but it was taking forever - over 10 mins & it said only ~1% was dowloaded.

So I tried to download the regular Java (online) program & it will download (apparently) & it goes to install, but then after a minute, this error message comes up (from Windows Installer):

"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vedor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package". (???????)

Thanks for the help......what do you make of the above message & problem??
