title: I am not able launch JNLP applications using "Java Web Start"?
body: <p>Up until recently, I was able to launch/open <em>JNLP</em> files in <em>Firefox</em> using <em>Java web start</em>.</p>
  
  <p>Don't know what happened all of a sudden <em>JNLP</em> files stopped launching, a splash screen appears saying <em>Java Starting...</em> and then nothing happens. Even the <em>Java Console</em> in the browser and <em>javacpl.cpl</em> applet doesn't open.</p>
  
  <p>Tried all possibilities: removed all older version and installed the latest JRE (java version "1.6.0_17"), still it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Done some googling for this problem, people suggested to start <em>javaws.exe</em> with <em>-viewer</em> option but same behavior (a splash screen appears saying "Java Starting..." and then disappears)</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I don't know any place (logs etc.) to look for to see what is causing the problem.</p>
  
  <p>I am using WinXP SP3, and some of the screenshots below shows further info about my system. 
  I can provide any other detail if required but please help me solve this problem.</p>
