Can't Install Java Sun

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Btw, I did go into my IE browser's "Internet Options/Security/Custom Level"
and "enabled" the "Auto prompting for ActiveX Controls" as well as the "Auto
prompting for downloads" features with still no success. I sitll get the same
error message.

Am I missing anything else?

TIA!

Wow, thanks so much Will!

I went to the the 'manual URL' and installed manually and offline and this
did the trick! Originally I installed online through the USPS website and
kept getting the errors.

Thanks again!
