Java for Windows Users |

Unfortunately due to
legal issues between Sun Microsystems the original developer of Java, and Microsoft, it appears that
Microsoft are no longer supporting the Microsoft Java
Virtual Machine with installations of Windows XP and other more recent MS
Operating Systems.
Please
visit the following Microsoft Webpage which explains how they will be
implementing the migration from the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine to the
Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment.

As the end user this
need not be a problem for you; the Java Applets used on this site run
equally well under both Sun and Microsoft Java Virtual Machines.
The Sun Java Runtime
Environment works equally well within Internet Explorer, and we
recommend installing the Sun Microsystems version. However,
there are several
routes to updating your Browser to make this site fully functional: -
|
|
|
|
1. |
Simply install the full
Netscape 7.1 browser from: -
http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp
This browser comes with
the full Sun Microsystems Java Virtual Machine, which will also operate
under Internet Explorer.

2. |
UK users can purchase a
copy of Personal Computer World, or PCPlus, both of which come with a
free CD ROM that usually includes a copy of Netscape 7.1
|

|
3. |
Download the Sun
Microsystems Java Runtime Environment directly from Sun Microsystems at:

4. |
Given the migration
from Microsoft Java Virtual Machine to Sun Microsystems Java Run Time
Environment, we do not recommend installing the Microsoft JVM however,
if you feel happier with MicroSoft you can download the Microsoft
Java Virtual Machine from: -
