I installed Microsoft Visual Studio.NET on my machine for a class I was taking. For 4 months I put up with it overriding (if that's the term) my JVM. Whenever I visited a website that required Java, I received the Install on Demand dialog telling me that I don't have the JVM. I tried recommended ways to fix the problem, but none worked, so I uninstalled VS.NET since the class is over. I still get the Install on Demand message. I try to download the JVM, but I am redirected to a web page with a message from Microsoft saying that the page cannot be viewed b/c I have no JVM. Can someone tell me how to get my JVM back? Thanks!

Do you have URL's describing what you did? Quote: ..so I uninstalled VS.NET since the class is over. I still get the Install on Demand message. Of the MSVM, or the sun VM? What are two (applet) URL's where this has happended? Were they using <object><embed> or <applet> tags?

There are also lots of other pages that I can refer you for testing, but I think we need to know more before we *should* go sending you off into a plethora of possibilities. One last question. Did you ever run 'unmsvm.exe' on your system? It was intended to remove the MSVM but did a very poor job of it, giving symptoms *similar* to what you describe. -- Andrew Thompson http://www.PhySci.org/ Open-source software suite http://www.PhySci.org/codes/ Web & IT Help http://www.1point1C.org/ Science & Technology Back to top Minouche Guest Posted: Fri May 14, 2004 2:25 pm    Post subject: Re: Problem with JVM after installing/ uninstalling MS VS.NE Thanks, Andrew. I will look into your questions tonight and post my answers/urls. I am eager to have my java back. The thought just occurred to me that I should also try running my own programs to see what message I get, and also try javac at the command line.

All right, a few URL's you might check to give you ideas..

I tested it with the links in the physci.org and mindprod.com sites. I also checked 2 pages that I could remember getting the error at. One question-- do you think I should still run the unmsvm.exe tool that you mentioned, just to be safe? Should I use the JVM clean that you directed me to? Thanks for all your help!! Jennifer P.S. This is a great help in general: http://www.physci.org/jvmclean.jsp Andrew Thompson <SeeMySites (AT) www (DOT) invalid> wrote Quote: On 14 May 2004 07:25:40 -0700, Minouche wrote: Thanks, Andrew.

LOL ..is that a *troll*? I hope that tool has disappeared off the face of the planet!
