Java won't work in IE thru XP?

[Ben]

Simple question I hope. Just installed XP, from 98 SE.
I'm trying to run java applets embedded onto web pages
but it won't let me thru IE. Is there something I need to
do? It just has one of those red cross boxes like when an
image doesn't load.

Thanks, Ben.

Hi Ben,

You probably need to reinstall java, as Microsoft is no longer allowed to
distribute it.

For the Microsoft versions:

For the Sun version:

Greetings --

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft is no longer allowed to provide its own Java
Virtual Machine to Windows users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the broader
capabilities of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, some of which are listed
here: http://www.java-virtual-machine.net/download.html.
