Do the Help Files available on these games web sites (the first place
to look for answers concerning problems with those games) say that you
need to have Java installed?
As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft was not allowed to provide its own Java Virtual
Machine to Windows XP 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 wider website
compatibility of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, one of which is here:
http://www.virtualmachine.tk/.
If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to apply a needed
security patch.
