I am trying to install Java 1.4.1. I am now running 1.4.0. When I try to
do the install I get the message "Installer cannon proceed with the current
Internet Connection Proxy Settings". I called my local provider of our high
speed Internet service and they don't run a proxy. I tried temporarily
disabling my firewall but that didn't make any difference. Any idea what
can be going on? Be specific, I'm pretty computer challenged.

Thanks.

Sandee,

Try downloading the offline install package for the latest version (JRE 5.0
update 6):

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

After downloading uninstall all J2SE runtimes in Add/Remove Programs.

Reboot, delete the folder C:\Program Files\Java.

Now try installing the package you downloaded.

Uninstall J2SE 1.4.1 java package via Add/Remove Programs.

Next, navigate to and delete:

C:\Program Files\Java <=this folder

Then go to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and click the link to
download the Windows (Offline Installation) package: Save it, do NOT run it.

When the download is complete, close the browser and install it.
