Is Java Virtual Machine missing?

This neat little application requires a piece of software called Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to work. Given disputes between Sun Microsystems and Microsoft this is not included with some versions of Windows XP -- hence the blank box! You can verify this by going to the Command Line Prompt (Start Menu > Run > Command) and typing in 'jview' at the prompt. If it can't find it this is likely the problem.

If you want to you can fix this with a couple of downloads (but they are About 5 meg each).

The relevant explanation and download links are (here).

I used one of the 'msjavx86.exe' downloads from the first section (I think they are both the same -- it loads and older version of JVM), and then went to Windows Update and it updated it to the latest version.
