    Ever since MS was forced to remove Java from their OS's, I've been having problems. I installed Sun's Java and I get java errors on alot of websites. Are you guys having this same problem? Is their a fix for it? I've searched Microsofts site for a fix, but they are less than helpful. All I can get is a few references to MS Virtual Machine, but no download link. What gives?

    Try browsing this site and near the bottom there is a link to a MS Java installer file.
    My advice is just do an Edit>Find "IF SINGLE PLAYER GAMES WON'T LOAD" then in that section number 3 gives links for 2 different versions of the installer.

    I'm about to install it and see how things go, but it looks like someone was nice enough to save an old version for us :p


    EDIT:: I installed it and it has been working fine for me, although I find it curious that MSN's Gaming Zone sports software that won't run on new versions of Windows. Couldn't the games be tweaked to run under regular Java?
