I have followed the steps in the tutorial about checking current version of Java, and downloading the 2 java files (3D and Java media).
When I open the HTML file for a world, I get the ActiveX control warning about blocked content, so I click on the yellow warning line and then click OK to allow blocked content.
I get a display that includes the outline of a rectangle, inside are the controls for pausing, stopping and resuming the playing of the world (no Play button however). The controls do not visually appear to be operational. Then I get two progress bars, one for downloading (which fills quickly) and then one for extracting (which takes a bit longer).
When the extracting progress bar finishes I get a quick flash of the controls in what appears to be an operational state, and then my browser window closes immediately.
Any thoughts on what might be happening would be appreciated.
