Missing or inactive Java VM
-
I have a friend whose IE keeps reporting that the Java VM is missing, on recently freshly installed XP pro. I have been trying to find where it might have been disabled and cannot find a setting anywhere. If anyone has any ideas on to fix this without a full reinstall I would most grateful to hear from you. Thanks in advance. Happy programming!!

Install from Sun. It worked for me.

A freshly installed copy of Windows XP has no JVM loaded. You do remember the (first) Sun v. Microsoft case, yes? Microsoft yanked their JVM from XP before it shipped as part of the settlement. You used to be able to get it from Windows Update, but Sun complained about that, as well. It became unavailable from that site as of 7/10/2002. Now, the only way to get the MS JVM on XP is to install XP SP1. http://www.microsoft.com/java/xp.htm[^] You can, of course, get Sun's JVM from their site. Ryan LaNeve www.laneve.com[^]
