Why does Sun Java 1.4.2 not run in IE (Windows XP)?
843804Jun 18 2004 — edited Sep 27 2007Hi. I hope someone can help me. I have installed Windows XP SP1a and straight away, I removed MSJVM from my system using Microsoft's own Java Removal Tool (1.0a?), as it does the most thorugh job of removing the dated technology from the system.
However installing Sun Java into the system becomes a problem. It installs fine, with no errors, the ActiveX modules are installed into IE and the Sun Java option is present under Advanced Internet Options, however any Java applets embedded in HTML (eg www.jpilot.com/chat.html) will not load at all. I will just get the white box with a cross, the standard placeholder from IE when it can't run the embedded object. Is Sun Java dependant on a certain old MSJava file/component being installed?
