XP and JVM problem

[gz]

Hi, I am using XP sercice pack 2. Java 2 runtime environment is installed as
well. However, I got the error message when visit a web site:
JVM version not supported. To use this service, you must enable Sun Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) version 1.4.2_03 (Apple JVM 1.4.2_05 for Safari) or a
later version.

How to setup my machine to solve the problem?

Thanks!

Go to the Sun web site and download their version.

Uninstall all older versions of Java and install the latest version from

If a web site is demanding that specific version of the JRE, it can
only be because the owner of the site wants to exploit the security
vulnerabilities in JRE 1.4.x. I'd recommend that you stay away from
that site.

Thanks for reply. However, that site is from Canada Government. It should be
trusted, and I need information from there. I searched the IE option, but
did not find any where to enable Java. If you know, pls help.

Did you do as previously suggested by several other posters and
uninstall whatever Java you have installed (from Add/Remove Programs)
and install the latest version? If for some reason you haven't done
this, please try it.

Well, I'd certainly like to think so, but they're woefully behind the
times regarding security.

.... and I need information from there. I searched the IE option, but

I seriously doubt that it's still possible to get that older version of
Sun's Java, because of the security issues. Sun doesn't seem to
distribute anymore, and I'd not trust it from any other source. You
should be able to download the latest version of Java from Sun, and that
should be backwards compatible with any web sites designed for the older
version.
