java and 3rd party browsers


Question

Hi

ever since I first tried IE alternative browsers, I have had problems with java, the issue was I was using msjava fine in IE and MYIE2 but my alternative browser didnt accept msjava so I installed the sun version, now I noticed java apps dont work so well in the other browser's so I tried to use java in IE again and it doesnt work, IE just says java is not installed. Now if I uninstall sun java there is still no java its as if msjava has vanished, is there anywhere I can redownload msjava or is it gone completely? or is there a way to get sun java to work in IE?

the other browsers I have been trying are firefox and opera7.

yes its enabled in the IE options.

mxxcon the original java was msjava with XP SP1 not SP1a, then I installed the latest sun java to get java working in the other browser's at this point java was broken in IE and MYIE2 (based on IE) I then decided I wanted to use java in IE again becase java implementation in the other browsers is poor but I cant get it to work it is simply broken and IE wont detect a java installation, it pops up a window to download java component, I click yes then the page that loads says java is installed but the applets dont work. the MS page points to sun java so it seems MS have removed msjava for download which is a shame.

I'm pointing out that of course MS Java is going to work perfectly with MS products, and its a bit naive to hope that MS is going to go out of their way to make their implementation of Java play nice with third party applications, nor would they want their applications to play nice with third party implementations of Java.

Please tell me you didn't believe that Microsoft was the only place to download the VM installer...? Do any of these links have a VM installer?

Sun's java doesn't work with some websites because those websites are not using Java correctly, not the other way around.

Lots of sites are still coding java for MS ancient java vm, it is not sun's fault or anyone elses but those websites. It's the same issue with websites that don't show up properly in mozilla, it's not because mozilla is borken but 9 times outta 10 the website is broken(i.e. it was coded just for internet explorer).

Bottom line is if a website doesn't work with Sun's Java than the website is doing it wrong. Hopefully these sites will start to get away from coding thier webpages just for IE, and start to move towards coding for the actual standards so they'll work in all the browsers.

Chrysalis - he shouldn't have called you stupid but MS java works fine in MYIE2 because myIE2 is basically a frontend for Internet Explorer, so of course MS Java will work in MYIE2 because it's the same thing as IE.

well sorry if I assumed the place to get msjava from was ms themselves, I know msjava is old and sites are been written specifically for it but thats not my fault, I just want the java that works best, I had a ton of problems with sun java and the other browsers, and for some reason sun java refused to work in IE altogether so I decided to dump sun altogether and revert back.

    • 2025 finally the Year of Linux? LibreOffice explains "real costs" of Windows 11 by Sayan Sen A big change is coming to Windows PCs as Microsoft will soon end support for systems and devices running on Windows 10. As such, the company, alongside its partners like AMD, Asus, and Dell, have begun urging users to embrace the "mandatory Windows 11 upgrade." The problem is that not every PC out there will be able to do so, at least not officially, as Microsoft had declared higher requirements for Windows 11 and thus many systems would be left out. Redmond's official stance for such situations is that users get a new computer by dumping their older system. There is another option users have: switching to Linux. Back in January, earlier this year, ESET recommended that users do that if they can not upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 or perhaps when they do not want to. Last month, KDE launched a new campaign dubbed "Endof10", which encourages users to make the jump. The project page explains several of the benefits of Linux over an unsupported Windows 10 system, like security and privacy, among others. And it also published another post earlier this month welcoming such "Windows 10 exiles". Now, The Document Foundation, maker of LibreOffice, has also joined in to support the Endof10 initiative. The foundation writes: "You don’t have to follow Microsoft’s upgrade path. There is a better option that puts control back in the hands of users, institutions, and public bodies: Linux and LibreOffice. Together, these two programmes offer a powerful, privacy-friendly and future-proof alternative to the Windows + Microsoft 365 ecosystem." It further adds the "real costs" of upgrading to Windows 11 as it writes: "The move to Windows 11 isn’t just about security updates. It increases dependence on Microsoft through aggressive cloud integration, forcing users to adopt Microsoft accounts and services. It also leads to higher costs due to subscription and licensing models, and reduces control over how your computer works and how your data is managed. Furthermore, new hardware requirements will render millions of perfectly good PCs obsolete. .... The end of Windows 10 does not mark the end of choice, but the beginning of a new era. If you are tired of mandatory updates, invasive changes, and being bound by the commercial choices of a single supplier, it is time for a change. Linux and LibreOffice are ready — 2025 is the right year to choose digital freedom!" To help users with the migration from Windows to Linux, The Document Foundation has laid out some key steps on how to proceed: Start by testing Linux and LibreOffice on a second partition of your PC (for individuals) or in less critical departments (for companies). Check the compatibility of your software configuration with Linux and LibreOffice; most office tasks can easily be transferred or adapted with minimal effort. Build documentation to learn how Linux and LibreOffice work and organise training if necessary. Find a consultant who can help with the migration process, such as someone certified by the Linux Professional Institute or The Document Foundation (for LibreOffice). The foundation stresses how "important" it is to "start immediately" with the transition. You can find the full details about the announcement here in the official blog post.
    • Why is it that some people think we have a tinfoil hat mentality, as you put it, just because we don't want AI on our devices? As for MS or any other company looking at everything, it seems to be the thing these days that companies want to know all about us. Can't even go shopping these days without being asked if you have some sort of card that tell them what you are buying and who you are.

    • Snapchat brings new features, including auto-saving for public Stories by David Uzondu Snapchat, which recently expanded to watchOS after a decade, is rolling out new tools for its creators. The company says people are watching more content than ever, so these updates are meant to help creators get more out of that attention. The new features focus on a few key areas: making video editing less of a hassle, showing who is actually watching, and saving posts that used to vanish forever. Video editing on the platform has always been a huge problem. The tools are fine for quick clips, but they get messy if you try to do anything more complex. A new Timeline Editor for creators in the US is coming "soon" to fix this. It shows your video clips in a simple timeline, letting you cut and move parts around without wanting to pull your hair out. You can still add all the usual Lenses and music on top of these edits. For even quicker edits, a "Create a Video" template is now available globally for iOS users. The idea is simple: you look through your saved Memories, pick a handful of photos or videos, and then choose a song from the app's library. After you select a template, Snapchat mashes it all together into a single compilation video for you. But making videos is only part of the job. To help people see if anyone is paying attention, new insights are also available. These stats give a much better idea of how an audience behaves. Instead of just one giant view number, creators can now track "Returning Viewers." This counts how many people watched their content at least 12 times in the last month. Other metrics include the "Spotlight Average View Rate," showing what percentage of a video people finished. You can also see "Views by Traffic Sources," which tells you if people found you from the Discover page, search, or their own feed. Finally, there is a new "Auto-Save Stories to Public Profiles" feature. For years, the whole point of a Snapchat Story was that it was temporary. This new option, which is rolling out to creators globally, automatically saves public Stories to a creator's profile. Snapchat notes that the new feature "helps creators build a lasting collection of their best moments, giving fans a deeper look into their creative journey and making it easier to keep content alive, accessible, and meaningful over time."
    • I did not think it could be removed, all it does is remove the icon, co-pilot is still there as far as I know. Also don't forget the other apps it is in. What is needed is a simple thing to click to remove co-pilot and any AI rubbish from the computer, just like I can on my Mac.
