Well, it's for Java. ;-) Yes, to view........Java and Java applets on webpages. On rare occasions you WILL need it (Sun) with IE, I did, but most won't. I don't know if Deep Net has Java built in or not, so you may or may not need it. I assume you installed DNEx on it since I doubt it came with it installed, so, Sun is already installed if it needs it.
I have to install it since FF and old Netscape needs it, plus IE needed it at some sites that test broadband speeds for example. I always disable it from loading to the System Tray, and it still works. It's difficult to do this sometimes because like that ridiculous Quick Time player, it's insistent upon running at all times, and loading itself to MSCONFIG and STAYING in the System Tray once a website needs it. Even if it's not listed in the MSCONFIG area, it will still run in the Tray so you have to either go to the Control Panel and open it, then try to disable the auto load from there, or open it in the System Tray and try from there. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Dougherty" Hi Peter, It is a HP...don't say it..I thought it was a good deal...and Dell has really lousy tech support. Clint..yes this is Sun..but I still am asking, what is it for? Just being able to view certain web pages, or what? I use Deepnet Explorer rather than Internet Explorer. Deepnet is great as it remembers my log ins for each page..like for bill paying and has a built in pop-up blocker. Jeff -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" What brand of laptop Jeff? I know some thinkpads sometimes come with the IBM JVM console but haven't come across one with the console set to load, the JVM is part of the system and runs in the background regardless of who makes it.
