Activating Java

[Paul Johnson]

I have just bought a new computer running Windows XP Home
and I find that I cannot access either Yahoo Chat or Yahoo
Games as my Java is not activated.
Can anyone please email me as to how I can activate my
Java?
Thanks

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.
