sp1 problems

[larry]

I recently bought a cheap digital camera that requires
the VM file in SP1. My version of XP did not contain it,
so what are my options?

Greetings,

Try downloading the lastest digital camera drivers from the manufacturer
website.

Thanks and best of luck!

Am guessing that you are speaking of Java Virtual Machine (JVM). If so: SP1
includes it, SP1a doesn't.

MS produced a Java that extends the language as defined by Sun, so that
it would 'work better' with Windows. This was not included in windows
XP, but was available as a separate download, and included in XP SP1

Sun sued MSoft, and the ruling in the case prohibits MS from making
'their' engine available as a download - so it is left out of the
revised SP1a

You can use the version from Sun, but in your case you probably need the
MS one. You can still get a 3805 or 3809 build from some sites that are
*not* MSoft sites - and MSoft is not going to object.
eg 3805 from Http://www.bigblackglasses.com/staff/downloads/msjavx86.exe

Once you have such an older version you can get the 816093 'critical
security update' which is effectively a complete build, 3810
