I've been trying to get into some online video game sites I used to frequent a lot but now when I try to play a game, all I get is "your browser does not accept java" and I can't fix this.

Have you gone to Java.com to download Java? That might do the trick.

It could also be that your firewall or antivirus is blocking Java. These programs usually have a way of allowing such things in their "safe" files/folders somewhere in the program.

I went back to AOL and typed installing java were it said keyword and I found the solution so the problem was solved. I like Netzero because you get highspeed at half the cost of standared AOL dial up which is VERY expensive but at least with AOL you can find tech help very easily when you need it. With netzero it was almost impossible. In order to process you're question, You had to fill out an online card which was very hard because you have to answer a bunch of very technically complicated computer questions and I'm an idiot when it comes to computer tech stuff. I might go back to Netzero just because it's cheaper then AOL but I think I might give Juno a try.

I'm glad you got the problem worked out. I have never used any company other than my local phone company for internet access, so I don't know how any of those work.

Jox saves the day again! Rick, Netscape is owned by AOL but also half the price. I thought Netzero and Juno were the same company. The only reason AOL stays in business, IMO, is because they cater to people who don't know other ways to find the information they need. Yes, they do have pretty good online tech support that can answer questions even when they aren't related to their own service or software, and it was quite handy when I was just starting out... although their phone tech support leaves a lot to be desired. To wean yourself off of AOL, use Google for all your online searches instead of AOL's search, using anything AOL has to offer as an absolute last resort. If I remember correctly, AOL just uses Google technology for their search engine anyway. You can also Google tech help boards and/or ask for help here when you can't find the answer you need. Netscape also has online tech support similar to AOL's, so you might want to give them a try.

I don't have QuickTime installed, so I don't even get that far. Pretty much all audio and video files buffer for me because I'm on dialup. But since you're on highspeed cable and seem to have plenty of ram, I don't have a clue what the problem could be. I'm too drained to google for the information tonight, but I can do a little searching tomorrow. Do you have a little icon at the bottom right corner of your screen (by the clock) that looks like two computer monitors? If so, you might be able to get your connection speed by double-clicking on it. That's how I check mine, but again, I'm on dialup.

As I suspected could be the only cause, yours buffers for the same reason mine does, but yours is able to buffer half a video, whereas mine can usually buffer only a few seconds at a time. Google: define:bufferingIf the website offers a choice to select a lower-quality video, that should take care of your problem. Otherwise, I don't see that there's anything you can do about the buffering, unless your ISP offers a package with a faster connection speed.
