Unable to Switch tasks when trying to open console window in HMC

Hi,

I am trying to open a console window through the HMC. When I choose to do this the toolbar at the top left of the HMC screen show 'Open Terminal Window'. However when I click on it I am getting the error -

"The tsak you want to switch to is an applet based task, which dowes not support 'Switch To'. Please use the window switching capabilities for local windows to 'Switch To' the window for this task ACT01513

A couple of points -
I have no Popup Blocker enabled

I have the latest Java 1.6 ( patchset 18 ) installed on my terminal

I am directly attached to the same network segment that the HMC is on ( therefore no corporate firewall is inbetween my terminal and the HMC )

The problem occurs in IE Explorer or Firefox

Any thoughts ?
