Java capable

I am using Windows XP pro and get this message when accessing various web sites.

Your browser is not Java capable or Java has been disabled.

I looked and cannot find a place where I can turn this feature on or off. Maybe it is a feature that is not available. This results in me getting the broken page/link indicator.
This has never happened to me when using Windows 95, 98, 98se, or me.
Any help will be appreciated.

Tony, I cannot find the listing "enable JIT Complier for Virtual Machine" in my list. I have checked it several times. I followed your directions to and selected the advanced option which I am familiar with.

Thank you for your effort.

 

Kevin, I will check on downloading your suggestion.
Thank you for your quick post to me.

 

Kevin, thank you for your advice. You stated to do this:

It worked to perfection--took care of the problem. I had done a complete installation of Windows XP Pro which of course included a reformatting of my hard drive. My son Rick did not have this problem. He did an upgrade install of Windows XP Pro from Windows me. Is it possible that he had Virtual Machine for Internet Explorer remaining on his computer from Windows me? Is my theory correct? If not could you inject your theory? Again thanks for the valuable information.

 

Hi, Bill. Glad that worked for you. I think it's very likely the Microsoft Virtual Machine (MS Java) was already present when the Windows Me machine was upgraded or had been installed as a part of a routine Windows Update after upgrading the OS.
