I am unable to download a crossword puzzle from a newspaper. All I see is a
little X.

I went to help at that site, and it said you needed Java applet. I used to
be able to see the puzzle months ago.

Does anyone have an answer. TIA

Then something has changed in the past few months.
What has changed?
Did you upgrade to XP? XP doesn't come with Java.
http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html

Have you changed browsers or added any pop-up blockers or script blockers?

Thanks Harrison, I have added a Google Toolbar which also stops pop-up
blockers.
Today I downloaded Java Web Start but it didn't help so am thinking of
removing it.
I have Windows 98, Pentium 2 and I use IE 6 as my browser and have had it
for awhile.
Sorry, I do not know what a script blocker is so cannot answer that one.

It may be the Google Toolbar, if the crossword is supposed to open in a new window.
If you click the popup blocker icon once it will switch to say "site popups allowed".
If that doesn't fix it then try resetting you IE options to their defaults. Tools>Internet Options

I just realized that it isn't an X but a rectangle with a square, a circle
and a
diamond enclosed where the puzzle is supposed to be.

I reset my IE options to their defaults and I allowed popups and nothing
happened.
In my Security settings under MS VM, it is checked at High Safety which
appears
to be the default.

Under Advanced MS VM only the JIT compiler for Virtual Machine enable is
checked.
The other two are blank.

The following is what I got when I tried to download the puzzle:

To solve the puzzle interactively online the crossword uses a small program
called a Java applet. It will work only on browsers that are Java-enabled --
generally speaking, these are Netscape Navigator v. 3.02 or higher, or
Internet Explorer v. 4.0 or higher.

I appreciate your help and I am learning more as I go along.

Before I received your last post, I removed the free Java software for the
desktop that I had downloaded earlier from Java.com as I was unable to
download the puzzle with it installed. Should I download it again?

Try Firefox and see what happens there.

Have you cleared the IE cache (temp internet files)? Make sure to check
"delete all offline content" when deleting temp files, and delete
cookies also. Then, try again.
