How to enable Java Quick Starter (JQS) on Windows 7

I have a few web applications that run Java that are encountering issues running on Windows 7 but on Windows XP, they ran without issue.

I discovered that the Java Quick Starter (JQS) is grayed on the Windows 7 computer but is enabled on the Windows XP computer.

How can I enable the JQS?  Is there a registry mod that will allow me to check the box?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

JQS is enabled by default in Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems and is not necessary on Windows Vista as Vista offers its own pre-loading mechanisms. A process called jqs.exe will run in the background in order to allow quick startup. jqs.exe will be loaded after a Windows restart. Instructions on how to disable the JQS and the jqs.exe process are below.

Launch msconfig and make sure all java services and startup items are enabled...reboot and check.

All Java services are running in the startup of msconfig.  

The issue is with Microsoft's Superfetch (pre-loading mechanism).  It is affecting my programs and I believe it is part of the issue.  The other part of the issue is that JQS is disabled.

I know how to disable Superfetch, but how do I enable JQS for Windows 7?
I hope you read the above article

Check for this process jqs.exe...is it running..launch task manager and check.

Dad9,
you are correct, there is different mechanism for jqs.exe in windows xp and windows vista.


arendt73,
Please check your user in windows 7. does it have Administrator privileges?
If not then assign Administrator privileges and check that are you able to enable jqs or not.
