Dont blame gameguy

That is the legit file name, file mirrors is a place to download the file you want under that filename.

If someone renamed a 'trojan' to that filename, then of course gameguy cannot be blamed for that now can he?

And how do you know its a trojan?

I did not blame gameguy... yeah it sounds like it but I was not blaming him.. I was complaining to him and want to make everyone aware of that also...

I don't know for sure it's a trojan. The file is over 5meg but when executed, it does nothing but write some dll file to the WINDOWS\System32 and write a short DOS script... and the file does not have it's own legitmate install icon.. it has windows default application icon...

this is an old version of the file, but the new one has the same icon.

scan the file for viruses, it might be the normal installer. try loading some java applets, do they load? look in internet options, on the advanced page. there should be a section for the microsoft java VM. if not, it's not installed and that's either the wrong file or it had an error installing.

try launching it from a command prompt, that should let you see what it outputs in the dos box.

Yeh doesnt sound like a legit prog

http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html

Download from there, should be version 3809

DOWNLOAD

Now cos MS dont have a outright JavaVM offically anymore, they do however update. In other words, you need a old version of VM to install the newer 3810 version from Windows Update.

Kinda sux but blame a slow SunJava and a lawsuit for that.

    • Couldn't a custom power plan help to park the non x3d ccd's? Then that would solve this latency/performance issues people are having with the x3d chips?
    • So is Ubuntu and Fedora (with GNOME). It's a welcome move and those that need X11 can easily install as pointed out in the article it but that won't stop a loud minority from whining of course. Funny but It will actually be easier to install X11 on Ubuntu then enable Flatpak support/Flathub and use them.
    • End of an era? Kubuntu is removing default support for X11 in new installs by David Uzondu X11, the old window system whose days have long felt numbered, just saw another one of its major supporters head for the exit. Kubuntu has decided to follow its parent distro's lead, making its next release, version 25.10, a Wayland-only affair for fresh installs. It seems many Linux developers see Wayland as the future. Just recently, Linux Mint started working to improve support for the protocol in Cinnamon, tackling lingering issues with keyboard layouts and input methods. You can even see the progress in KDE's development, where an upgrade to Wayland PiP is planned for KDE Plasma 6.5. So what's the logic behind dropping a session that, for the most part, still works? According to Kubuntu's Rik Mills, the team wants to "rip off this sticking plaster" now, in an interim release, rather than ###### off a lot of people by doing it in the next Long-Term Support version, 26.04. The developers feel that maintaining code for the aging X11 system holds back progress on security and new features that Wayland can enable more easily. Plus, supporting two separate display servers is a massive undertaking. Of course, this change might have some people worried, but relax; all is not lost if you still need the old session. If you're running hardware that acts up, like some older NVIDIA cards, or who relies on an ancient application that doesn't play nicely with the XWayland compatibility layer, you can still get your familiar session back. Just enter the following command in your terminal: sudo apt install plasma-session-x11 Once that command finishes, the X11 session will appear as an option on the login screen, so you can carry on as before. As OMGUbuntu notes, not everyone in the Ubuntu family is following its lead just yet. Other official flavors like Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu Cinnamon are expected to keep offering an X11 session on their default installs for this cycle.
    • Mangohud hasn't been built into "Steam Deck", it has been built into SteamOS. I understand that your goal is to try and praise MS for a simple feature that everyone else has, but we are comparing OS vs OS. Hardware does not have anything "built-in". Software does. Like it or not, SteamOS has it "built-in". And it is far superior to XBOX game bar's information.
