Hi Anne - The simplest way to fix the "Install on Demand" problem is to
follow the directions/choices here:
http://n6hb.org/s-a/JAVA-ts.htm#ie_jvm Just be sure that you read it
all carefully.
You can test whether Java is working on your machine at the following
sites:
http://www.pocoso.de/pocoso052.html
http://www.clan.lib.ri.us/clan/javatest.html
http://www.fitwise.com/testjava.asp (both 1.0 and 1.1 and what's
installed)
http://coglab.wadsworth.com/support/browsercheck.html
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/webct/browser_detect.html
and you can test Javascript here:
http://www.dancespots.net/browsertest.htm
and check whether you have the MS VM installed and which version here:
http://www.visualware.com/support/javasupport.html
Be aware, however, that after Jan 2, 2004, MS will apparently no longer
be distributing Java or providing any support for Java including
security fixes. (It's unclear as to how 6/26/03 court decision will
affect this) See here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/evaluation/news/jre.asp so you
might want to start thinking about the future.
You can get the Sun Java J2SE RunTimes or SDK here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html (all versions - select using
the dropdown)
Sun also offers an automatic download and install of the 1.4 Java
plug-in here:
http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html
Both Java VM's can co-exist on your machine quite nicely. Just select
which one you want to use in Tools|Internet Options|Advanced and restart
all IE browsers. Here, courtesy of Michel Gallant, MVP Security, is a
tiny utility which allows you to toggle and view status of your current
Java VM vendor associated with IE:
