How to enable Java Virtual Machine

[blue143]

My browser won't let me use Java Virtual Machine which means some sites won't work and I can't use my online banking. I've tried going into Tools, Options, Advanced etc. but the Java tick box isn't included. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Microsoft lost the lawsuit with SunMicrosystems a few months ago. They do not offer VM support or files any longer. You have to go to this link and download it from Sun Microsystems.

Some people have reported problems with the Sun Java such as incompatability with certain websites and slowdowns. If this occurs the MS JVM, although no longer obtainable from MS as mrsdotcom says can be downloades from various 3rd party sites. I do not have a link here but entering JVM or Java Virtual Machine in a google search should find something All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.

This is supposed to be a link for Java Virtual Machine from Microsoft.

It's still in the Browser... Since you are running XP, you should be running IE 6.. go to the Internet Options/Advanced page and just place a check mark in the Microsoft VM boxes... two require a restart of the browser... should work, I had to decommision the Sun applet...
