Hello Mel,
I was also there today and all was well. Just a thought but I had terrible ptoblems with the site once over after upgrading to XP. Virtual machine (for Java) did not ship with XP and because of some dispute with sun Microsoft took it off their update page.
I got a java plugin from an 'alternative' source and never had a problem with the technote site since.
Probably nothing to do with your problem but worth a mention.
ttfn
Tony
