Hi, My Internet Explorer browser is version 6.0.2800 In the Internet Options, Under ADVANCED tab > Under "Microsoft VM" section, only "JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled" is checked (enabled). Under the Security tab > Custom Level > Microsoft VM/Java permissions, the "High Safety" option is checked. The "Scripting of Java applets" option is enabled. So do I have Microsoft Java Virtual Machine? or do I have Java from Sun Micro systems? Since Internet Explorer 6.0 does come by default with microsoft Java virtual Machine, I would doubt that I have microsoft's JVM. Problem is that I have some of their settings in my browser. As for Sun Java, since I did not install anything related to them, I should not have Sun Java, but guess what: a process called javaw.exe is running in task manager...but javaw.exe is part of Sun Java..confusing.. Thanks for helping

To determine if you are running the Microsoft VM(Java), follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type cmd, and then click OK. 3. At the command prompt, type: jview and then press ENTER. If you are not running the Microsoft VM, you receive the following error message: 'jview' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ------------------ If you have JAVA, then information will be displayed about it.

Since Internet Explorer 6.0 does come by default with microsoft Java virtual Machine, I would doubt that I have microsoft's JVM. This sentence does not make much sense to me. IE does not come with Microsoft JVM by default. In fact Windows XP has no Java installed unless you installed it at some point. Microsoft is having a tift with Sun Microsystems over Java and Microsoft is not allowed to distribute Java. If you think you have Java do the following. Start > Run > cmd > Jview. If you get a response to this request then you have Java VM. Latest version is 3810. If no response you do not have Microsoft JVM. If you have never installed Sun Java then you do not have that either. Post back and let us know.

To add: With JAVA you can find out when the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION is going to be seen in your part of the world. (with the naked eye, you can see it move across the sky) See the Space Station click "Start Java Applet" (over 1 min.to load) After loaded, under "User Location", enter the information(or find a city near you in the drop down list). Then click "Next Sighting" button. When information is found, click "Sky Track" That will display a star chart and ISS track across the sky. (a yellow line in the track means it will be visible). Then you will see the ISS at that time and location. Do Next Sighting again, for another.
