Hello.....new to this group so please bear w/ me.
I have just recently purchased a new computer that came w/ Windows XP Home Edition operating system. I do a number of things that require Java. However, when I got my computer up and running after bringing it home, I tried to have a little fun one evening and visit a game site that I frequent.....I received an error message stating that I needed Java Virtual Machine to play. It gave me the option of 'Downloading Virtual Machine'...I clicked 'Ok' to begin the download and it just redirected me to Microsoft's homepage with very little information to my issues. I've tried a variety of things. Everything from re-setting information in the Java Plug-In (in control panel) to downloading an earlier version of the Microsoft Virtual Machine. I know that Microsoft no longer supports this. I've gone to Sun and downloaded and installed their version and still NOTHING! I have used up all the patience I have trying to figure out the problem. As I said, I do a variety of things that require Java to run. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else had this problem since purchasing a new computer w/in the past few weeks?? I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of and visited many websites that give me virtually NO information whatsoever!!! Thanks and I hope to hear something soon!
