On my Windows Vista laptop, I get the following error whenever I try to load my page that has the record applet.

"The application requires an earlier version of Java. Do you want to continue?"

This even occurs when I vist any of your pages. The error message is indicating that my version of Java is too new. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your help.

We answered:

The error message is a bit misleading. We think you actually need a newer version of Java. We found a discussion of this problem at the following link.

They suggest that you uninstall the OEM version of Java and THEN install the newer version.

You can upgrade here:
