Java Virtual Machine Problem
Whenever I go to a website that uses Java I get a message that says:
Install On Demand (Other)
To display this page correctly, you need to download and install the following components:
Java virtual machine
So I click on the download button and it starts downloading and (installing?) and then all of a sudden another IE window opens and takes me to a microsoft website which says:
We're sorry, you cannot view this page because it requires the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (MSJVM). Your machine does not have the MSJVM installed. For more information please visit www.microsoft.com/java.
But the page that I initially wanted to view that needs JVM appears to work fine. However if I go back to that page again or any other website for that matter that uses java, that same message comes up again even though I already have java virtual machine installed.
How can I fix this problem? I already tried uninstalling from add/remove and reinstalling but it didn't seem to work. Any other suggestions? I already scanned for and removed any virus's and malware. Thank You.

Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools|Internet Options|Advanced tab. Make sure that under Java (Sun) the "Use Java 2 v1.4.2_01 for (requires restart)" is checked.
If that still produces an error message, you can download Microsoft VM from here. You must install v3805 before you download and install v3810, because 3810 is an upgrade over 3805.

It says that it's already installed. I already tried deleting it and reinstalling it. But I still have the same problem. Any more suggestions?

This message came up when i did what you said.
ERROR: Could not locate Java Virtual Machine : Class not registered
That's weird though because i went to the java website and it said it's installed already. and it works in different java website's it just keeps asking to download it, even though I have it already, but it says that i don't have it. I'm confused. what do i do?

To verify installation of VM go to Start|Run, type cmd and click OK. At the command prompt type jview and . The version will be displayed at the top of the ifnormation that is displayed (if VM is installed).

Jview only examines for the presence of Microsoft Virtual Machine. You were told that Sun's Java Runtime Environment was installed when you attempted to download it.
What is the URL of the site that you are unable to reach? I'd like to see if I am able to access it.

If you have a Java (Sun) listing on the Advanced tab of Internet Options you have Sun's JRE installed and if the entry is checked for use, I don't know why you are receiving the error message.

Sun's site provides one step in IE that I haven't suggested (#5 and beyond).
1.Click "Tools" --> "Internet Options"
2. Select the Advanced Tab, and scroll down to "Java (Sun)"
3. Check the box next to the "Use Java 2" version
4. Next, select the Security Tab, and select the "Custom Level" button
5. Scroll down to "Scripting of Java applets"
6. Make sure the "Enable" radio button is checked.
7. Click OK to save your preference.
