I would like to know why I cannot download Java Virtual
Machine to my computer. I can't get into any games
without it and I don't know what to do. My son built this
computer for me so I am in the dark......Help would be
nice if I can get it.... Thank you
 
Hi,

You can download it in step 3 below Karen. Keep the troubleshooter
handy in case you run into any problems further down the road. :-)

If Single Player games (ex: www.zone.com/bejeweled.) don't load try these steps:
* Afterwards, all game sites (such as Yahoo) with similar games will work as well.

1. Click START / Control Panel / Internet Options and click on the Advanced Tab.

2. Below HTTP 1.1 is the Sun Java/ Microsoft VM section: Make sure all Java choices
are unchecked (especially JIT) and then press [OK]. You may be prompted to reboot.

3. If you don't see a Microsoft VM section then download Microsoft Virtual Machine for:
Windows 98 / Me / NT / XP from: http://www.abxair.com/software/msjavx86.exe

4. After you download Java, double-click the file to install it, reboot and then follow
the directions in Steps 1. and 2..to disable JIT compiler and other advanced options.

* Whenever you get a Java Virtual Machine Security Update from Windows Update, you
will have to follow Steps 1. and 2..to disable JIT compiler and other adv. options again.

5. Some games require Shockwave Flash which you can download from:
http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/frameset.fhtml

6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser:

7. Try these suggestions for Zone's Java Games: http://zone.msn.com/zzzz/help/helpjavagames.asp

8. If you see a coffee cup icon in your icon tray, or have Sun Java listed in Control Panel /
Add-Remove programs uninstall or disable it to prevent conflicts with Microsoft's Java.

9. Maybe it's a software conflict: Make certain that your Firewall or Antivirus program is
not configured to block Java Applets. Norton's products for example have that option.
If you're unsure temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting with Firewall,
Antivirus & AdBlockers using: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
or this utility: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

I am having the exact same problem. I went to
www.google.com and typed in Microsoft Java Virtual Machine
download and came up with a number of sites that you can
download it from. I did this, but unfortunately that
didn't solve my problem.If you ever figure it out, please
drop me a line. One word of warning. I posted a question
here 48 hours ago and got sent a response to my email that
was the Swen virus. It infected my computer and spent all
morning fixing it. I received an alert that this virus has
been send thru various microsoft newsgroups like this one.
