I have windows xp, and I want to use Yahoo games and it wont let me download the java program it says I need. Any suggestions?
 
Hello Carey,
I have the Sun Java plug in installed, but cannot play Yahoo games using
it by itself, I had to find an older version of MS VM, and then update
it .. build 3805 to build 3810, even un-installing and re-installing the
plug in from Sun Java it didn't work.
With both installed I can now play Yahoo and Pogo games.
T.

Greetings --

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft is no longer allowed to provide its own Java
Virtual Machine to Windows users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the broader
capabilities of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, some of which are listed
here: http://www.java-virtual-machine.net/download.html.

If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to visit Windows
Update to apply a needed security patch.
