Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / July 2003

Since I'm using Explorer 5.2 on my Power Book G4, I get sometimes
error messages from Java.  I haved enabled Java, but for some web
pages I keep getting messages as the one below, and some images do not
show.  What can I do?

What follows is a sample of error message I get (of course, I don't
understand what it means):
