Java & Windows XP 64
It looks like Java is not installed with Windows xp 64.
I found out this morning when I decided to go to a chat room this morning. Has anyone installed this? Any particular site or version that works best? Do you have to run the 32 bit or 64 bit browser? Speaking of browsers, does anyone see any advantage to running the 64 bit browswer at this time? Thanks Danielle |

I got the latest 64 bit installation from the site you referenced. The
files seem to run and unpack themselves. At the same time I still seem to be missing something. I still does not seem to work. I see the permission to enable on the sercurity page. Did you have do anything else to get it to work? Danielle "Steve Midgley" wrote in message ... "Danielle E" wrote in message . com... It looks like Java is not installed with Windows xp 64.

Why don't you visit the Microsoft newsgroup for windows XP Pro x64? I
think you might get some response to your question about Java there; The following page at Microsoft give the information about the newsgroup: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/6...n/upgrade.mspx Danielle E wrote: I got the latest 64 bit installation from the site you referenced.

I could not see that box. I found an enable radio button under internet
options - security, but I do not see a check box for java under internet options - advanced. Danielle "Steve Midgley" wrote in message ... "Danielle E" wrote in message m...

I could not see that box. I found an enable radio button under
internet options - security, but I do not see a check box for java under internet options - advanced. When you installed the JVM it should have asked to you associate java with the Internet Explorer browser. Open up the control panel and see if there is a Java applet in there. If there is an applet then you should see a panel to associated the JVM with browsers. If there is no Java applet in the control panel then I believe that the install did not work. Another sign that your Java install did not work correctly is that you will not have a Java WebStart icon on your desk if the install failed. For some reason Sun did not release an Win64 version of the final 1.5.0. Make sure you have the Win64 version of the Java 1.5.0 release candidate. Also, you must install it on Win64 beta, not on the 32-bit versions of Windows XP, 2000, etc. Sorry if that seems to obvious, just trying to help. Frank |

Finally got Java working at least with Firefox. Had to go to Windows
control panel and click x86 icons. Danielle "Frank" wrote in message ... I could not see that box.
