hey

everytime i try and log into a java chat room like yahoo, nothing happens.

it asks me to install some cab thing which i say yes too, but then nothing happens, just says 'done' and the java chat doesnt load up, my settings in internet options are correct, this im 100 per cent sure off...but i dont know why it doesnt work, all java chat rooms do this, but other java on a webpage for instance works ok...

any idea?

thnx

I have had that problem too. The only thing that I found to resolve it was to reinstall windows. Someone else out here in cyberland might have a better solution but that is what I found.........

SUMMARY
This article describes how to manually uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM).

MORE INFORMATION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe.

To manually remove and reinstall the VM components:

Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 /u msjava.dll, and then click OK.


Remove the following keys from the registry:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Java VM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Global\Namespace\Java Packages
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\\DhModule
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608500}

you could try IE's repair utility. Also, maybe update to a more recent version of IE, assuming that's what your using and you don't already have the most recent version. Hope this helps!
