I am taking a guess here on your configuration. It sounds to me as
though you are running a Windows/Intel or MacIntosh machine. If so,
and you are trying to install new screen savers, then the entity that is
preventing you from continuing is not Java, but rather a disk protection
package such as an anti-virus package. If you are in that situation,
you need to contact the manufacturer of that package, rather than the
Java Security group of Sun Microsystems.

One way to check for possibilities is to go to the bottom right hand
side of the toolbar, and examine the icons there for names like "guardian",
"protector", etc.. You can generally double click to bring up that
program, and then examine it to determine the security settings.

Hope this helps. Without more information, it's hard to me to know
if this is a real java issue, or a general windows/mac issue.

Best Wishes,

Brad
