Hi...I'm having a problem with my Java software.
I goto a ICQ site and use the Web based ICQ.
The Java applet for my contact list won't load.
Also when I try and log onto my Tripod File Manager account it won't load either.
Under tools,Internet Options,Advanced I have :

Java(Sun)
Java 2v1.4.1_05 for<applet>

Microsoft VM
Java Console Enabled
Java logging enabled
JIT Compiler fo Microsoft VM enabled

Why won't the Java applets run?
I can't get Java Chat windows to open as well....

Can I get rid of the JAVA(Sun) files?
And just keep the Microsoft VM files?
Where can I update VM?

I'm not running windows at the moment, so i can't view my own configuration, but I doubt you should have both JVM's enabled - try disabling one of them and seeing if that solves the problem.

Ok..I just Disabled the Sun Java,rebooted...still doesn't work!
Where can I update the Microsoft VM?

I'll leave the Sun Java disabled and update the VM...
Anything I'm missing?

I'm not sure that you can update it - it was included with SP1, but then it wasn't then it was (basically I can't remember whether it's SP1 or SP1a that includes the MS JVM). You could try re-installing suns version (get it at java.sun.com) to make sure that is installed correctly

I tried uninstalling and re-installing both nothing seems to work!!!!
Could it be a Security Setting?
Or something else???

microsoft no longer supports virtual machine. i would suggest uninstalling BOTH editions of java that you have and installing the latest one found at www.java.com

I did that last night...still no go!!
Does Microsofts VM com bundled with any of the OS like Win98SE?
Will it load from the OS CD?

There got to be something???
It has always worked then all of a sudden it won't???
Whats up with that?

It has to have something to do with my Security settings but I can't get it!!!

Well I've un-installed all the Sun Java files and only have the Microsoft VM but no java apps still!!
I re-installed msjavx86.exe but it still doesn't work.

Could it be an MS update I installed??
This is ridiculous...how can it work and all of a sudden not??

I need some help on this or I'm going to have to Reformat!!
Not into that as it's going to be a big job!

Can someone walk me through the SECURITY SETTINGS as well as the Java setup and the ADVANCE SETTINGS in Internet Options?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok,I found this site:

for Java Troubleshooting...

I went through the test and ended up downloading the VM again and it worked!!

Thanks for your input.
