    How many use Sun Java and why? I am having problems with a couple web sites that won't work properly and someone recommended that I use Sun Java. Don't know what to do!

    I'm using Sun Java. Both IE and Firefox. Can you link some sites that are causing problems and I'll see if I have trouble too.

    ronjor the crazy part of this is the page will open for a split second then disappears. Other people don't seem to have a problem. I have tried a lot of things but it doesn't help. I know it is my system but I don't know what to do. The one site is Bart's Preinstalled cd http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

    That site opens for me on IE and Firefox.

    I don't know if you are on dialup or not but you could try clearing your java cache for a start.

    It's in the control panel. I'm on dsl and cache nothing if possible.
    Look over all your options and also see what version it is.

    Hi WilliamP,

    Try this, go to your Control Panel, and to the left, if you see "Other Control Panel Options", click on that. You can also go to IE's Tools and see if there is a listing there for Sun Java Console. If you have installed Sun Java, there will be a folder called "Java" in your Program Files folder.

    If there isn't, then maybe you have not downloaded and installed the Sun Java Runtime Environment package?

    You can find the download for the J2SEv1.4.2_05 JRE (The J2SE Java Runtime Envirornment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications, at this link:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

    Hope that helps,

    snap

    Hey guys I don't have Sun Java yet. If I remove Microsoft Java VM first can I get to the Sun Java site to download the Sun Java?

    Snap's link will take you to Sun Java download.

    Use the link I show to remove Microsoft's java. There is a download exe file file that will do it for you.

    Sp1 removed java for me when I installed the service pack. They may have extended the use of Microsoft java.

    Who knows??

    Maybe you can try clearing your internet cache in IE first.

    WilliamP, to help you out with those pages at Sun Microsystems, Inc. download site, the one you want to download would be the second download link on that first page that my link takes you to: Download J2SE JRE.

    On the next page you must put a check beside "Accept", to accept the License Ageement, or you will not be able to continue to the download page.
    Once you've checked the "Accept", then click the Continue button to go to the final page which will explain different ways you can download it.

    Myself, I chose the Windows Platform, Windows Offline Installation, which is 14.91 MB because I wanted to install it later and while off-line, but there is also an on-line download which is smaller and faster, 7.6MB, but you have to stay connected while it installs.

    Thank you for your help. Now I have one question. What is the advantage of Sun Java over Microsofty?

    Microsoft has to remove their Java due to legal considerations.

    I think I read also, that it is not as secure or at least had problems along that line.
