105481 2002-12-12 12:10:00 hey i'm running XP with ie 6, i've just formatted and reinstalled, and when i try to open a page with a java applet, it directs me to windows update. and i can't seem to find the update that has the virtual machine. how can i get this to work?

also, is there a way to save the update install files onto my hdd so that when i reinstall windows i can just bang them back in without having to download them again?

I would reccomend getting hold of a magazine CD (IE: PCWorld, PCAuthority, etc) that has IE 6 on their cover disc, and then go into:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
Find Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Tools (or something like that) Click Add/Remove > Click add a component Follow the screens through and when it says what you want to install click MS Virtual Machine (Might be under Custom install) and then tell it to use the files off the CD as the installation files to resave downloading them

As for Windows Updates - they should be stored in the "C:\Window\Windows Updates Setup Folder"
