You might be able to find a download of it somewhere by using Google. But MS stopped updating and distributing their version of java a long time ago, the last version for XP I think was included in the original XP release, but removed from SP1 onwards, Sun took them to court... you'd be better off with Sun java as it's been patched for latest security bugs, etc...

I hope you realize that trolling is almost as attractive as picking your nose. Please don't do it in public, thank you.

Sun's java has been exploited too BTW.

MsJVM was pulled in the release of sp1a.

I don't find Sun's JVM to be laggy/crappy at all, but that's my opinion. Just give it a go, J2SE 1.4.2. You might find that the site you're going to just requires that you verify/accept the security certificate before it proceeds.

A notification dialog usually comes up to tell you to accept the certificate (or to check it) before continuing. That's what happens with my bank's site.

    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am guessing this is the result of using a third-party tweaking tool instead of changing things within Windows settings. Windows 11 has a decent set of configuration options for the display, but they tend to be scattered throughout the operating system due to fragmentation of product ownership/inconsistent standards being applied by Microsoft. There are a few places in Windows 11 where you can modify the various display settings in order to get them to your liking: Under Settings → System → Display you can stroll down to the Scale & layout section and change the Scale and Display resolution settings to whatever you prefer.  For the Scale option, you can click on the text box to choose between the various pre-populated settings.  If none of those are exactly what you are looking for, click on the caret ("") caret to open the Custom scaling setting (also available under Settings → Display → Custom scaling).  I would recommend this as an option of last resort as this can cause display issues in various programs. I strongly recommend using the screen's native Display resolution here; it should show up as the "(Recommended)" resolution.  If it does not, you may need to install your monitor's profile information file (basically, a device driver for your monitor) to get the correct setting. Another place to look at making changes to fonts is under Accessiblity → Text size.  There is a slider bar for changing the text size from 100% to 225% there. You can try making changes to the ClearType settings.  It's a little bit finer-grained than the others, but it may make the text easier to view on the display.  Run the ClearType Text Tuner (filename: CTTUNE.EXE) and go through the wizard. You may want to do this several times under different lighting conditions or times of the day to figure out what works best for you overall. Lastly, you may want to look into using a dedicated assistive screen technology program from a third-party.  Microsoft provides a Screen Magnifier and a Narrator for text-to-speech, but they provide only basic functionality, and you may find that a third-party program works a lot better.  The pros of this is that third-party assistive technology programs tend to work quite well under Windows; Microsoft has historically worked closely with third-party developers of assistive technologies.  The cons of this are that such tools tend to be on the expensive side, since they are often sold to schools, businesses, or paid for by insurance companies, not individuals.

      Totally agree with you. I think people, especially on tech sites, need to realize that they’re the minority. Microsoft isn’t going to waste time on things that, in the big picture, don’t matter to the majority.

      I think a lot of people here are too young to even remember Aqua.
