[Joseph]

When I try to go to certain websites it tells me that I
need to download java virtual machine, but when I click
to download it...it does so and then tells me I need a
newer version and to go to windows update. On windows
update there is no virtual machine update, what can I do.

Have you installed SP1?
You can always go to Sun Microsystems to find the newest version...

I usually experienced the same frustrating problem. I
have found a solution that may help.

Simply cut & paste the following link in your browser's
address bar:-

This should provide the solution. If you are still
experiencing difficulties, there will be a dialog box
asking permission to install the updated Java Virtual
Machine. You can click on Yes, for an automatic
installation.

Note: The entire process can take from 7-10 mins. to
download & install on a 56kbps dial-up modem.

If you have a slower machine, the entire process takes 15-
20 mins.


Hope this solves your problem.
