Java Virtual Machine

Download it from www.java.com

Currently due to legal reasons Microsoft are unable to
supply the java virtual machine, hence it being removed
from the update site. Instead download it direct from sun
micro at www.java.com

Hope this helps

John I already had downloaded the Java Virtual Machine from Sun as indicated
in my original post. I have version 3810. Do you have any other ideas?
Thank you

I've noticed a few posts regarding Java problems where the user installed
both the Sun JRE as well as MS Java and have problems viewing some sites. I
wonder if this may help.

In the past when you install Sun's JRE, it uses a trick to replace
Microsoft's JVM under Internet Explorer. The JRE adds a Registry subkey
named TreatAs under the key that identifies the Microsoft JVM
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C60
8501}\TreatAs). This subkey's (Default) value is set to the CLSID of the
JRE. Reinstalling the Microsoft JVM won't change this key. Deleting the
TreatAs subkey fixed the problem.

The TreatAs Registry key has legitimate uses for updating and replacing COM
objects. This usage, however, disguises one component as another. Perhaps
this isn't what its creators had in mind. If you find that Internet Explorer
repeatedly asks you to reinstall the Microsoft JVM, use Regedit to seek and
destroy the specified Registry key.

The Sun Java VM -- unlike the MS VM -- provides a control panel GUI for the user
to make such changes w/o having to mess with the registry. You can tell Sun
Java which browser it should be used with -- Netscape 6 (and 7) or IE. I
have both MS VM build 3810 and Sun Java installed. I use the MS VM for IE and
Sun for Netscape and things seem to work nicely together. I've seen comments
that in order to ensure that the MS VM really is enabled, it may help to first
use the Sun Java control panel that it should be used for both browsers, close
out, and then tell it that it should not be used in IE.

BTW, in the process of trying to revert from 3810 to 3805 (don't ask), I got
the same error message. It was cured when I reinstalled 3810 (never went near
the registry).
