Java programs don't run on my machine under Win98(SE). I get big boxes of
gray, etc with no video content and, if things happen at all, they happen
very slowly.

I tried uninstalling it (Java 2 Runtime Environment SEv1.4.2_06) and
re-installing it, with no improvement.

To ensure it wasn't the program(s) I was attempting to run, I went to
another machine we have that runs WinME. The programs look fine there.

I am probably doing something fundamentally wrong and would appreciate
getting pointed in the right direction. If this is the wrong newsgroup, my
apologies and again, I would appreciate a little re-direction.

Thanks,

Ken

Hello,

I have Windwos 98 SE and I have java and I know it works.
Go here http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp and it will
install it for you. Also if that doesn't work right click on internet
explorer and clikc on properties. Then click on the privacy tab. Make sure
the level is at meduim or under

My privacy setting was a notch above (medium high), so I backed it down to
medium. Also, I uninstalled the runtime I originally posted and installed
per your suggestion (for some reason, it's different).

I got a different result, but it is still not right. It freezes (just
Java...not my OS) and leaves big rectangles on the screen after it finally
closes which I can get rid of by doing a screen refresh. Similar to before,
but not exactly the same behavior.

Thanks; no cigar, but I appreciate the help.

Why not use the superior, imo, MS JAVA 3810? (Support lasts until December

I looked on the Microsoft web site and it directed me to Sun for the Java
runtime. That's what I am using now.

Thanks

That is because of a messed up Justice Department decision that I will write
to complain about to the Justice Department when I have the time. It is not
next on my list but high up there. Imo, Microsoft develops JAVA better than
Sun with far less vulnerabilities so I feel that they should be compatible
but Microsoft should be able to compete again with JAVA despite what has been
done in the past.

I respect your opinion, but remain firmly entrenched in Java hell.

LOL!! We will see the course that history dictates for all of us and mine is
to change computers and technology in some small and probably most likely
insignificient way. I just have to swallow my pride and take each day as it
comes.

Yep. The applet dances around just fine.

In the section on the Sun page re: tools, internet options - then advanced,
Java (Sun)...the choice of "Use Java 2" does not appear. The only choice is
"Use JRE 1.5.0_01 for <applet>" This is checked.

Java Version: 1.5.0_01 from Sun MIcrosystems
