| 269832 | 2004-09-06 10:53:00 | On my old computer I had ICQ and want to install it again. However, Microsoft have decided I do not need Java program in default in XP, and it is not there automatically. (In searching the net I have read of the Sun/MS court cases etc, but I seem to have come across bits of threads that say it is possible to download JVM or something akin to that somehow, though I myself found the JVM site link from ICQ was a dead end. Any advice, folks? | Carol T (1211) | ||
| 269833 | 2004-09-06 10:57:00 | Download Java from Sun,its the original and the real one. MS's version was not only an attempt to steal from Sun but it was also a security issue. Its been a long time since i used ICQ,i didnt realise it was relient on Java? |

| 269835 | 2004-09-06 11:06:00 | Only the first issue of sp1 had ms java,it was removed from sp1a onwards. | metla (154) | ||
| 269836 | 2004-09-06 11:14:00 | Yes, that is what has happened to me..got the latest, with less! Thanks tweak'e for that site. I did do lots of searching but got lost in all the bits of threads that weren't quite what I needed. | Carol T (1211) | ||
