djohn Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I think it will depend on your original version of XP. Mine is XP SP1 and therefore has the MSVM. XP SP1a came without it and SP2 will also not have it included. Not sure about Win. 2000 but would think it has MSVM. :unsure:[EDIT] Don't forget for win. 2000 change as below.For Windows NT4 and Windows 2000, replace C:\windows with. C:\winnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 If you go to Internet Options > Advanced it will show you in there if you have MSVM installed..... I don't so I only have Sun showing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Well, this computer (work) does have MSVM, and it is win2k sp4, so chances are I have it at home.secondly, DJohn, I bought XP when it was just XP. Before service pack 1, before sp1a, etc.So, chances are it's installed there too! so I will take a look when I get home.Thanks nellie and DJohn.

djohn Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Glad to help but the credit must go to nel for finding the info. I just happened to print it off before it went off-line so that I could follow the instructions to alter my system. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Quick question :D I DO have MSVM installed (Windows XP SP2 RC2) but I bought it as plain XP, so it's probably never been uninstalled.but I can't uninstall it. i.e. djohns post didn't work (on xp anyways) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Haven't tried it myself yet Scarecrow Man but the instructions are copied from nels link word for word. Have you followed the guide exactly as it is printed? There are some spaces and commas' included in the guide.I will be removing mine later this evening using the same guide, will let you know how it goes. :unsure: PS: I'm also using XP Pro.

expertec Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Me XP Pro too...I followed the instructions and it kinda messed up a bit, anything java in IE asked for M$ JVM to be installed again even though Sun Java was installed, so I removed Sun Java and then re-installed it, everything OK then :) p.s. Firefox worked fine with Java all the time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 It's there, in my advanced section of tools in internet explorer, but the run command does not work.I copied and pasted it, so I don't think I mistyped.Also, I didn't get an error saying it was not there, I got a differen't error. I'll post it when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
