Do not rush your computer out to the shop for this because there are a few people that have problems , and I think that Java bit might be unfairly blamed. I do not know much about this but the number of people reporting bugs towards the Archives part of the site is rapidly increasing. Could the site be the target of hackers?
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

TOP TIP:

If you're running Windows XP, set Restore points before making ANY software changes to your system.

Then, if anything goes wrong in future, simply backtrack to one of those points.

The clue is that using a different computer will allow access.

It's down to software on your PC that you might have installed recently, or a change you made to the configuration, not the site

A popup blocker???

Try switching off all pop-up blockers (esp if you use a Googletoolbar) and then try again.
