I just reformatted and I don’t have the Java virtual machine plugin but when I go to [java.sun.com](http://java.sun.com), I have no idea which one to download. Anyone know?

Just don’t dl it. When you get to a site that requires you to have it, it’ll download it automatically. Makes it easier so you don’t have to know which one. Plus it seems faster cause it dl’s and installs automatically.

I tried that, but it takes me to the windows update site and its not on there. It says I need a more recent version of the Windows Virtual Machine…?? But there is nothing on Windows Update

Windows XP SP1 tries to avoid any instance of the latest Java Virtual Machines by MS. It used to be possible to download from the MS site itself.
