Getting Java for Windows XP - Readers Write!

I want to personally thank the over 100 readers who wrote in about the Windows XP Java problem. If you read last week's newsletter, Microsoft had to take down their Java Virtual machine because of some legal issues. But WinXPnews readers came to the rescue! First, you don't even have to use the Microsoft Virtual Machine, you can use Sun Microsystem's version, and it seems to work just fine. If you don't want to use the Sun version, you can download the Microsoft Virtual Machine. Both files are available at:

http://www.winxpnews.com/rd/rd.cfm?id=020827UP-MS_VirtualMachine 

Other places to get the file include:

·     http://www.3danywhere.com/vm/ 

·     http://www.3danywhere.com/vm/msjavx86.exe 

·     AOL install disk

·     http://tinyurl.com/oca

·     http://www.netpumper.com/msjavx86.exe 

·     http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html 

Or, try out Kevin Schoen's instructions:

"First go to this site and get the older version of the MS Virtual Machine:

http://www.mvision.mpsnet.com/java.htm

This will check for the basic VM and install an older version onto XP, and then you need to go to Microsoft and install the Java 4.0 SDK which will give you the newer base java components. You can get those from this link: Microsoft SDK for Java 4.0 for Windows 95/98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP or later:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/javasdk/install/4.0/win98/en-us/SDKJava40.exe

Once you have this installed and have re-booted your machine, then you need to go to the MS update site and install all the updates you do not currently have. The link to MS' site is:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

When the updates are complete, you will need to re-boot one more time. After re-booting you will have the most current available Java for XP."
