Freddy, greetings.

I'm having another problem with VM java. I only get the red x when viewing applets. I have the MSjava.dll version 3810. The settings in IE are set properly. BUT, when I do a System File Checker test, I find that there is no java.exe nor javaw.exe file in the System folder. I've reloaded VMjava many times with no success. Where can I get a copy of the java.exe and the javaw.exe files? I've tried the Windows 98se CD, as well as looking in all 3 zip files of the VM versions I've downloaded into my computer. Not sure what my next step to fix this problem is, except to download the 2 files I mentioned previously. What do you think?

There is no java.exe

Its jview and wjview and they reside in the c:\WINDOWS folder of your system.

What browser do you use?

The version of VM is totally irrelevant, but you might have it corrupted, you ever get a hoax about the teddy bear virus, and deleted a file in c:\windows\system ??

To re-install the VM, see http://www.java-virtual-machine.net/download.html they are exe install files, NOT zip files.

Perhaps the System File Checker is reporting Sun's java.exe file missing? Anyway, I don't use Sun. I don't have it 'checked' in the tools>internet options>Advanced tab. I do have the JIT compiler checked. When the JIT is unchecked or checked, java applets don't appear. I still only get the red x.

The jview and the wjview are on my computer.

I use IE6 for my browser.

I never had the teddy bear virus nor deleted in regards to a virus.

I installed the msjavx86.exe file that you suggested. I still get the Red x when visiting web pages with a java applet.

The 3 files of VM I called 'zip' files in my initial message was inaccurate. They are not zip files but rather .exe files as stated in their properties.

I'm still trying to figure this out. Any ideas?

Maybe it is missing sun's, you've had it installed at one time and its corrupt?

You should try re install SUN http://java.sun.com

THen make sure it's disabled in control panel. A few before have found that a corrupt Sun messes up Java even though it's being set not to use. It's possible that because the Sun is corrupt, that the settings have not gone to the control panel etc... to disable it, hence the system is still trying to use Sun.

The JIT compiler is just a Java option, some websites will tell you its the setting if Java is off or on, but they are wrong, but it's beyond the scope of this thread to tell people what JIT does - and I could go on for days explaining it.

After reinstalling the Sun Java application j2re-1_4_2_03_windows-i586-p-iftw, the red x is gone and the applets are loading properly.

Freddy, thanks for your help....again!

Hi,

Not going to help much here.

I have had so many problems with Java. I uninstalled, reinstalled, picked up virus along the way ... you name it, it happened. All I can say is that you tweak your system till you get tired of it. I did EVERYTHING I could think of. I have it running really sweet now, but if you ask me how I did it I would have to say thought and luch (certainly not skill!!)

I think its pretty inhernet within the Java platform itself that it runs in (sometimes) in an eratic way. I think all of us have had some problem at some time with it (to a greater or lesser degree) Then you hit on something by tweaking IE properties and looking into your registry and then it all comes together (I DON'T recommend anyone messes with their registry ... I don't mind getting my hands dirty in there, but you must have some idea of where you are going!)

It was through sheer luck, finding "bits and bobs" on the internet and my own intuition that got me there. Now I have no problems at all.

Like I said ... no help. But keep asking questions here (and to yourself) and you will get there in the end.

Sorry for the "none-help". Just that I have been there and try as hard as I could for advice I found the answer myself in the end. How? ... I did so much I really no longer remember. You are not alone

lol

When you start missing bits of stuff it gets complex.

Looks as though some people are corrupting their sun, most probably via installing other programs that delete shared files, or are deleting rather than uninstalling.

If Sun runtimes are destroyed before you turn it off, it seems to hang onto its job that it can't perform.

I have windows XP and recently when my system boots up I get an error message "WJView Error" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. How can I rectify this please.

It looks like when you're starting your PC a java applet is trying to run.

Start, run, type msconfig, press ok, and see the startup tab. Look for anything with jview/wjview in the command.
