I unistalled and installed again, but i still cant access the website and if I happen to enter a page where Java is used or whatever I get the error message "The Java Runtime enviroment cannot be loaded". This worries me now, don't know if it's spyware related or what.

open internet explorer, go to tools, internet options. CLick on advanced. scroll down till you see Sun Java. is the box check or not? also what does the description for the box say?

Lets try a few things:

color=#3333FF]Prefetch is clickable for more information

Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, (all files will highlight), right click any file, click delete, confirm

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up

Reboot

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run defragmenter

Download, install and run[/color] Tune Up 2006 Trial

Run Tune Up disc clean up

Run Tune Up registry clean up

Disable the anti virus programme then click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, the screen will lose colour during the process which can take a few minutes and then needs a reboot

Check the anti virus programme is running

Those will have cleared the drive of obsolete software errors

These are suggestions for making the most of the free trial

Click optimize and improve then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor



Now if your concerned about malware then I advise:
Please go to the malware forum in my signature and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.

The sun Java box is selected, I noticed some other java application thingies just below it that were not selected I'm not sure if they have anything to do with it, and the error message says (The Java runtime enviroment cannot be loaded" and if I continue then another one follows that says " Several java virtual machines running in the same process caused an error". The description box says Java™ Plug-in fatal error.

I followed all of your instructions regarding the tuneup, thanx for that, my comp is working much much better now.

i started doing some research online and i found this, but I dont understand the instructions for fixing the prob

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When Java Plugin is configured with -Xmx parameter set to some number larger than half of the system's physical memory, java plugin will not start in Internet Explorer. It pops up a message box that says "The Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded". On my machine, -Xmx750m does the trick. The problem seems to be independent of the version of Windows operating system. It's also reproducible on Windows 2000 and XP. It happens with both the <APPLET> tag and with the <OBJECT> tag.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Open Java 1.5 control panel and switch to Java tab. Open "Java Applet Runtime Settings" by clicking on "View" button. In the last field (Java Runtime Parameters) enter "-Xmx512m", where "512" should be replaced by 3/4 of the system physical memory size. Also enable "<APPLET> tag support" for Internet Explorer. Apply settings. Open internet explorer and navigate to any web page that contains an applet.

are you running windows xp service pack 2?

I bet what you saw under internt tools, options was

Sun Java
sun java applet 1.5

Microsoft Java
option 1
option 2
option 3


Per a court order microsoft had to stop using its version of java. That's why I want to know if your running sp2 for windows xp.


Interpeting thier instructions;

go to control panel. look for java. Once the Java control panel is opened, click on the Java tab. The first section should be "java applet run time settings". Click on View. Click once on the JRE line, this will turn it blue. Double click on the last section on the right (on the JRE line). This will let you enter "-Xmx512m".

Yes I am using win sp2 and in the options it said Java(sun) and below the check box had USE JRE 1.5.0_9 for <applet>.

and after that was the Microsoft VM menu which included Java console enabled, and Java logging enabled.

ok, I'll keep digging for a solution. In the meantime have you considered trying firefox? IF you download firefox and it works then we probably should look at going through the process of a repair for windows xp.

Please try it and let me know if it works.
