    After i re-formatted, when i view websites, it prompts me to download Virtual Machine, i click ok, it sends me to the Microsoft website, but they don't have it to download anymore.

    Anyone know where i can get it???

    Cheers...

    Mikrosoft doesn't want its users to use Java. You are supposed to use .NET, XML, ActiveX, Directthis'n'that etc.. :giddy:
    Which version of IE do you use? Java isn't included by default in IE6.
    I doubt whether Sun's JVM works with IE, but it's here:

    Yep, Sun's JavaVM works fine with Internet Explorer. Definitely get it, the Microsoft one is outdated.

    Thanks for the links...

    Installed it and it works fine, but seems to run really slow...

    Nothing like it was with Microsofts one.

    Is there anyway i can get the original back on (microsoft's)???

    Well you could try Sun's JRE 1.4.1 beta, I don't know if it's faster though. A slow Java is better than no Java, right?
    All the links for M$ VM I've found are either obsolete or lead to M$'s site which tells to go to windowsupdate site.
    As M$ doesn't call it Java, you may find something by searching for "Microsoft Virtual Machine".
