Hi,
Ever since I had Windows XP Profession installed, whenever I went to some sites, it always ask me if I want to download and install MS virtua Machine in order for the site to work properly. When I clicked yes, it brings me to a MS page and says "We're sorry. Automatic installation of Microsoft Virtual Machine is no longer provided for Microsoft Windows XP." I checked the Windows Update, which also doesn't have the thing available. Does anyone know how can I solve this problem?


Thanks.

If you still have it with you, would you mind sending me one?

Or do you think i might have luck on looking in Kazaa too?


Btw, do you know why MS stopped the automatic downloading of MS virtua machine for XP? It's annoying.

Unfortunate, isn't it? You can just get Sun's java <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html" target="_new">here</A>.
