    Uninstalled java via Add/Remove. Searched thru C: drive and deleted everything I could find java, Application data folders, Windows, Documents and Settings folder, everywhere I could think of. Not these folders themselves but the java folders inside of them.

    Run RegSeeker and cleaned registry. Didn't search for java like I mentioned in previous post I just let it clean the registry normally. After all the deleting I rebooted and installed java 6.11. Rebooted again. Went to Runescape and while loading a pop up asking if I wanted to allow secure applets from this site appeared, finally, and I chose run.

    I never did receive this popup while having the java problems. Only until I deleted java completely from my hard drive and reinstall did it work for me. At least its working, I just hope it remains working.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thatnks for posting back with the details dopey. Always have been fond of RegSeeker.

    Side note - recommend you steer clear of version 1.52
    1.45 and the latest 1.55 are both stable. ;)
