java vm download problem

[Glenn]

hi,

Some web sites i visit open up a box saying i need the
java virtual machine. I click on the 'download and
install' button which opens up a new box with a download
bar which fills up instantly and says 'download time <1min'

Then nothing happens. i can't view the webpage properly
and don't know what to do. Windows xp was on my pc when i
bought it from a friend and i can't get support from
microsoft because they say the ID number has already been
used.

Thankyou in advance

Glenn

Hello

See below

Microsoft is removing Microsoft Virtual Machine from its websites and
stopping distribution because of a court order:
