Got problem with JAVA on XP plz help.

[DOMiNiON]

hey guys I just re-formatted my comp cuz i had problems before and noticed that Microsoft doesn't host the Java Virtual machine on there site for Windows XP. Does anyone have a link to the latest virtual machine for xp? Much appreciated, thanx!

[Biaxident]

Yeah, I had the same problem...

But my friend fix it with some app. I'll check what the name of that app for you.

MS Virtual Machine -

http://ftp.anadolu.edu.tr/pub/Win9x/MS%20V...va/msjavx86.exe

This is the last one before they took it offline.

(UPDATE) - Direct from the MS Knowlege Base - MS Virtual Machine

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?.../vm/dl_vm40.htm

Easier though is to get the plugin direct from SUN it runs smoother, and integrates with mozilla and other apps that need Java.

Sun XP Java Plugin -

http://dlres.java.sun.com/PluginBrowserChe...ava/others.html

Can these two ever decide to play nice.

the weird thing was is that i swear i had this installed, but when i was reinstalling openoffice today, it said no java found on the machine. so i just dl'ed the latest beta from java.sun.com and it fixed everythign up perfectly.

might need to make this a sticky so that people in the future that need ms java vm can d/l it from that link. man if sun and ms could just play fair. :D

True..

But, come on, think the super giant of M$ could let someone else run apps well without messing over it's own people also. Keeps you dependant on them.

Hmm...anyone knows what this is all about?

If you really want M$ VM 3805 (java) - just grab the secuity update dated march 4th - some security fix for VM. It contains the full version of VM.

You have to grab it from the cat though - not just a scan on winupdate.

This update was still avail as of a few days ago - I would suggest you grab and put the msjavx86.exe somewhere safe - for later use :)

If anyone still needs VM, I had the same problem and found this link: http://www.visualware.com/support/javasupport.html

It's slower ......

Most webpages are designed with I.E and Virtual Machine in mind and gives errors when used with SUN's Java only.

This isn't really SUN's fault but just the way things are.

SUN Microsystems won a courtcase against Microsoft, so they cant give you Java anymore, if you need it , go to Sun's homepage

[Dan.Varga]

Java download java from there

[intensityx]

I would download Microsoft's "Version" of java...Sun's didn't work right on my XP machine.

[EMC]

I got the same problem here,

and I didn't find the download file on the stupid MS site.. :mad:

anyone who can give me a direct link?

[Zombie9920]

Suns version of Java sucks. It is slower than MS Java, it uses more CPU cycles and it is bloated. I would go to Windows Update and download MS Java from there.

[freeza]

yup suns version does suck but hey you gotta do wha you gotta do

[Killa-b]

it does not even show up on windows update for me so my only solution is Sun

i assume sun's version is to the letter, and that is why it "sucks" where as ms's is crippled, and mildly propertiry.

i would also assume that if i was sun, and i won the case, then i would make DANG sure that new users would have a great exerience with java. know what i mean?

[crane]

i too have the same problem on my other machine, java doesnt work with sun's version and i cant find the ms one, can someone post a direct link to the ms java download or pm me where i can dl it or something

cheers,
