Java Virtual Machine - WTF

[Mr. Monday Morning]

K so whenever I try to run a java applet or surf a site that has one on I always get prompted to download the Microsoft JVM...if I click yes it does this tiny download then redirects the browser to the Microsoft site saying sorry you don't have the JVM installed (or near enough) and doesn't run the applet.

Except, I have got java installed on this machine, I have to use it for my degree and can compile and run programs from the command prompt etc. So why the hell can't I view the applets? :| (I've got the settings in IE set to allow java scripts etc as well)

Have you tried reinstalling it?

The Microsoft Java Virtual Machine is no longer available from Microsoft directly due to legal wrangling with SUN, however it still can be downloaded...

Download the file using the links above and save it to your harddrive.
Once the file is on your harddrive, execute it and thus load the Virtual Machine.
As the file begins execution, answer Yes to the License Agreement question and then once complete, re-boot your PC.
Once the PC is re-booted you should be set to go.

I found an old Java Virtual Machine cd.

Man, it was for a PC that was originally made for Windows 95.

Is your computer old?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Nah this is a laptop that's like 2 years old tops running XP :-\

Dunno what the hell is wrong with it, I've got XP on my machine at home and everything runs fine on that :roll:
