i am at a site that i visit frequently and it uses a java applet window. but i recently installed xp and now when i get to the site it tells me that i need to install java virtual machine. so i click on the install button and I get redirected to a page that states: "We're sorry. Automatic installation of Microsoft Virtual Machine is no longer provided for Microsoft Windows XP." So I scour the Windows website and find nothing but messages for me to check windows update. so i install ALL of them 40 megs worth and java still isn't installed. ***? anyone know of a workaround?
