Can someone please help get java working on this computer ?
When I try to install Java ,I get error message

"Java need administrative privledges",

Please can someone tell me if there is a trick workaround ?
Its a pc at work. I there maybe a program that acts like Java ,but bypasses administrative privledges. Also what about the first java program that ever came out,
does that need administrative privledges too
?
I had the same problem with flash to watch youtube.com , but managed to add 2 files to get youtube working.

You don't need admin privileges to run java but you need them to install. I am not really sure if this would work but as far as I know, if you get a Java install from another computer and dump on the one you want and then put the directory on your path, that should to the trick
