I have had a reinstall of Win XP and now Im trying to get my computer back to the way it was and Im coming across these things Im not sure about. So please reply in simple terms for me. I go to yahoo games and into a game I normally play - it tells me the following To display this page you need to download and install the following components Java Virtual Machine I click on download and it comes up in the microsoft site this We're sorry the page you are viewing requires that you have a more recent version of the microsoft virtual machine on your system, to obtain an updated version of the microsoft virtual machine please go to windows update. I do but where do I go from there and is this the right thing to do?? I dont want anything that costs. Thanks ladybug |

Internet Options, advanced, and then look down that till you find something about Microsoft VM, then down and make sure Jit compiler for virtual machine, is ticked. Hope that helps. | supergran (108) | ||
| 162277 | 2003-07-23 12:34:00 | Hi supergran i have looked where you said but cant seem to find anything like that. I wonder if this is due to the fact that windows xp has been reinstalled??? Ladybug |

| 162279 | 2003-07-23 12:54:00 | There has been various lawsuits against ms for what they have done with Java and there right to bundle there own version with windows,Hence some copies of xp have it and some dont,Depending on the date your version was spat out. Easyist way to get microsofts version is to install service pack1 for winxp,or get the real thing from wwws.sun.com it will be there somwhere i think,Sun aint in the habit of makin there fight easy. |

| 162281 | 2003-07-23 13:06:00 | A fresh install of XP does not contain any java virtual machine in it whatsoever. Why? MS were going to get sued by SUN Microsystems, so they took it out of XP. You can't even get it now with SP1. To sort this out, you'll have to visit www.sun.com and download their Java Virtual Machine. After all they invented Java, so why settle for MS junk?? |
