Greetings --

First of all, please unstick your CapsLock key. Posting in all
caps, as you have done, is the Usenet equivalent of shouting, and is
considered very rude. More importantly, posting in all caps makes the
post very hard to read, further reducing your chances of getting help.

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft was not allowed to provide its own Java Virtual
Machine to Windows XP 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 wider website
compatibility of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, one of which is here:
http://www.virtualmachine.tk/.

If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to visit Windows
Update to apply a needed security patch.

You might have to do a manual download instead of an automated one.. Go to
the Sun website and poke around for the manual download page. make sure you
get version 4.2.something - it should say JRE in the file name somewhere.
download it and save it to your disk drive. then install it later.

If you look in add/remove programs, if you had Java running, it would be
listed there. Be careful you do not get a programmer's Java file - you want
the end user one.
