Java VM


Question

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get the default Java VM from microsoft, when i try to download msjava86 i get an error message saying it can't update newer software but java applications wont load, my windows xp already has SP1 installed from the cd as the build includes it and the sun java gives me alot of lag when playing yahoo pool and makes my desktop blink rapidly.

Remove it, and then try and install it again....

To remove:

Click start --> run --> and type this in: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall

You will then get a prompt to uninstall, choose yes, and choose to reboot.

Delete the java folder in \WINDOWS.

Next go to \WINDOWS\inf\ and delete java.pnf

Delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\jview.exe and C:\WINDOWS\system32\wjview.exe

Delete: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM

Delete: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM (To remove the configuration options from the IE Advanced Options tab).

and then try and install it right off of the WindowsUpdate site.

    • They should have locked it on device not cloud. Kids can just sign out the browser and sign in to anther acc or use guest acc. You can block it sort of with group policy locking it so only 1 acc can login. But you cant stop them logging out. My son just ended up resetting the PC and making a random account.
    • You just have to imagine it in the voice of Jony Ive...and taking over 5 minutes to explain. It’s not just a movable volume indicator. It’s fundamentally more considered—every molecule of its form refined, every component reimagined. This is not iteration; it is reinvention. True simplicity is derived from so much more than the absence of clutter or ornamentation. It’s about bringing order to complexity, clarity to chaos—it’s design that feels inevitable. What we’ve created isn’t just new—it’s a new way of thinking. A product that doesn’t compete with the past, but eclipses it entirely. When something is truly intuitive, you don’t notice the design at all. It’s as if the product dissolves, leaving only the experience—the connection—between you and what you’re doing.
    • Kind of an unrelated rant, but... As someone with kids, who as of a few years ago were young enough that I wanted some of these family safety features. I have to say, any good intention MS had was completely RUINED by how absolutely awful the parental interface is. There was the family portal with limited settings, but more detailed settings were scattered is completely unintuitive ways. There was a child details page where you could configure the 100+ features, but, the features in the "gaming" section only applied the extremely limited list of Windows Store games that were not XBox branded. For anything with XBox branded, you had to find the XBox parental consent portal, which had another 100+ features to dig through and try to figure out what was blocking your two kids from playing Minecraft together. To make the experience even more infuriating, MS implemented their same signature documentation we find for 365 and Azure, that it is very easy to find documents talking about how easy it is to use any given dashboard or portal, but without including a link to said resource...you might have to 20-30 results deep on Google before you find that answer, it was nearly impossible to simply find a portal by searching for it.

    • Like many, I'm not buying and expensive items until the tariff nonsense is resolved. I wonder if that has something to do with (along with the notes others are making)?
