Time to check and see if you Sun java is up to date. Current version is Version 1.5.0 build 1.5.0_01-b08. If you are still using Microsoft java, then you really need to update, since Microsoft doesn't support it anymore.

Visit this page and click the download link and you will get updated as needed http://www.java.com/en/download/help/auto_install.jsp

I'm running 1.4.2.06, and it says I'm up to date. It updated automatically before for me. Is the new version only for newer operating systems?

So...... I don't need to do anything about/with the MS version, just d/l the Sun version??

I went to the manual download page. It's still offering 1.4.2_06. Not finding anything newer. Am I just missing it?

Thanks Nick. Interesting that the "get java" link on the main page leads to an outdated version. As critical as it is to keep stuff like this up to date, that doesn't make sense, but the "check for update" feature in the control panel applet didn't find it either. Makes me wonder how the average user is supposed to know when to update.

Now I see the problem. I wonder just how much of an issue this would be? I've got 98 first edition.

sleepingbear · Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2005 8:34 pm Post subject: Win98 first edition should be OK

Hi all...thought it was time to contribute. No long intro, I've learned a lot lurking here and am pleased to be a part of it now.

@Herbalist - I've installed it on a couple of Win98A boxes for customers:
Cleaned out all old Java and IE cache files
Got all M$'s updates including the VM and Script "updates" from the WU site.
Went to www.java.com for the install link.
Manually downloaded the .exe and ran it.
Stable, no conflicts. One of the systems has only 64 mb RAM - it still ran fine Only done it twice though. Not a big test sample. I'd back up first, then go for it.

Just noticed when Herbalist posted Embarassed

Oh well, maybe it helps another.
