Greetings from Richmond VA and from a newbie so new to the site, I squeak!:D Hope all is going well and after posting my dilemma, perhaps my day will turn into something wonderful!
Here's my stats and situation y'all: (Yep, I'm from a redhead from the South, born and bred!;) :p
I have an older system compared to most (MICRON2000) and I'm running as my OS WINDOWS XP (HOME EDITION). I've got to tell y'all, this site saved my computer and my sanity!
Because of a recent java issue, I was able to come here, locate and download JAVA 2 RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT SE V.1.4.2 and its subsequent update, J2SE 5.0 UPDATE 5 as well. The download and installation of my JAVA UPDATE 6 and NOT being able to locate here or anywhere else WINDOW XP'S (HOME EDITION) SP2 I do believe is my true problem!:(
I'm a gaming fool and team member on Pogo. Anyone who plays knows java is an absolute necessity--no java, no play!
I just found after downloading and installing Java's UPDATE 6.0, it advises that it is NOT COMPATIBLE and basically will not work. If I'm correct, the fact I DO NOT have SP2 on my system is the culprit.
1. Do any of you know if this is truly the case? Without SP2, Java's 6.0 Update will not work? Is it something else? If so, what?
2. Is there something else that will work in its place?
3. Do any of you know, if SP2 is the culprit, where it can be found and downloaded to my system?
4. I've performed the "windows update" and it doesn't appear as an "update" to be downloaded.
5. I've performed a search, and manually checked all files and folders on the system--no luck in locating SP2. Not to mention, it does not show as anything installed on my system under "Add/Remove Programs" through the control panel.
Any and all suggestions would be most welcomed. I appreciate the time you're taking from your day/night, to help me resolve this issue. If I can ever be any help in any situation--just ask. Again, thank you all who read and relay their suggestions/advice to me.
Have a Good One!
