Which JRE for Windows XP?

I have to choose the JRE version which will installed as the default JRE on thousands of XP sp2 pc's. This JRE will also be the default JRE for Internet Explorer - the one called when the APPLET tag is used.
Up until now we have used the Microsoft JVM as the default for Internet Explorer and a SUN JRE version 1.4.1_02 as the default JRE on our NT machines.
Can anyone recommend a very stable, reliable JRE for Windows XP sp2? Once installed it will probably be used for years as the default JRE although other JRE's will be installed on the system also.

Its a bad idea to use a platform like java for several years, I would at least upgrade every 1-2 years. Java provides a silent installation mode for this, so no interaction of the user is required at all.
as I sugested I would use the latest 1.4.2_latest if you need something rock-solid or 1.5.0_latest if you want the latest features. However I know many people having problems with 1.5.0+applets, starting with crashing browsers to long load-times because sun's cup animation eats up the whole CPU which is needed for class-loading!

  • JRE for Windows 64 bit on Intel

    Hello,
    in Supported System Configurations Windows AMD64/EM64T 64-bit mode is shown as not supported.
    In the release notes (1.5.0_04) the following is written:
    With the release, J2SE support for Windows 64-bit has progressed from release candidate to final release. This version runs on AMD64/EM64T 64-bit mode machines with Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions.
    What is right?
    Is jre-1_5_0_05-windows-amd64.exe the right file for Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions on Intel processor?
    What about Windows XP Professional x64 Edition?
    regards,
    Sven

    You're not going to get them from Apple. I have Vista Ultimate 64 installed in Boot Camp and had to find video and network drivers on my own. The built-in iSight doesn't work and neither does the other MacBook specific features. I use Windows sparingly so it's good enough for my usage.

  • Which BIOS for Windows 7?

    Hi.In the moment I am with windows Vista x32 bios. I would like to know wich one Bios shall I use for windows 7? Thanks in advance.
    And I am sorry for the inconvenience.

    Hi
    I think this is depending on your notebook Which one you have exactly?
    On the Toshiba website I can different versions for the notebook, like one for 32bit OS and other one for 64bit OS. So I think thats the only difference because I dont see a special BIOS only for Windows 7.
    If you have installed the latest BIOS version, everything is ok! :)

  • Officially supported JRE for Windows Vista

    Hi,
    Please let me know the officially supported JRE/JDK version for Windows Vista. Does JDK1.4.2 _XX supports Windows Vista?
    Regards,
    Raj

    I think the real question is does ANYTHING workon
    Vista?Well, my java code works fine on Vista, as an
    application, and as an applet, developed using
    eclipse, also running on Vista.
    So clearly, SOMETHING does run on Vista, and works
    very nicely thank you!Wow, you should call Microsoft. I'm sure they offer a
    prize for the first app to run on Vista. Sorry, I'm
    being cynical today. Anyway, every person I know
    that's upgraded to Vista is real, real sorry.
    Existing software and hardware no longer working is
    the biggest problem.Yeah, today I was on Microsoft's side, but that is not the normal 'me'!
    However, Vista does look gr8, and if you only run 1. my app (www.j2e.com), 2. Eclipse, and 3. browsers, Vista doesn't seem to break!

  • HT3986 I got a macbook pro Retina and I installed a windows 7. The problem is I can't find drivers for the Macbook pro retina hardware which work for windows 7

    I got a macbook pro retina and I installed windows 7. How can I get the windows 7 drivers for the Macbook Pro Retina?

    Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant
    If you missed that I suggest that you read the instructions again.

    The disc you used would have been the install disc that came with your Mac. These can only be used on that as they are made for that specific model.
    Make sure your machine meets requirements
    Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    At least 2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later (Mac OS X 10.6.8 is recommended)
    7 GB of free hard drive space is recommended
    Once you've purchased it would be a good idea to create a bootable DVD or USB

  • Best JRE for Windows CE Application???

    Hello,
    I am working on a project that is utilizing Java on a Compaq Pocket PC
    running Windows CE. For now we seem to only be able to run JDK 1.1.8
    on WCE with reasonable success. It works OK, but has definate
    limitations and drawbacks. We have tried a third party product called
    Geode Java that runs JDK 1.2. But it has some bugs and other issues.
    Is it possible to use J2ME and follow the Sun's MIDP Spec on
    WindowsCE? If not, are there any workarounds that may allow for this.
    We are still in a proof of concept phase. But if we cannot find a
    newer workable JDK for our application, we will probably port to C/C++
    instead.
    Operating System changes are not an option at this point.
    Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Derek Sedillo
    Post a follow-up to

    An outfit called NSICom has a JVM that's in beta
    that they claim runs PersonalProfile (JDK 1.3.1).

  • Wich is the best JRE for Windows?

    Hi all,
    I'm attempting to create a Java application to be installed on Windows (98, NT or 2000).
    I'm developing it by using Sun's JDK 1.3, and I would like to know wich the fastest JRE to run my application on is.
    Is IBM's better on Windows?
    Thank you very much.

    The best JRE is always the latest release version. Right now the latest release version id the 1.3.1_01.
    I strongly suggest you to not use the Java IBM product, except the Java Beans. Stay with the product of Sun if you want to be sure that you have a good product. Sun control the implementation, not IBM. IBM is not like M$, but not fare from it.

  • Is there a version of Safari for WINDOWS later than 5.7?

    I have a Dell XPS 1 which on which I run Windows 7. I have always used Safari as my OS. I am receiving emails which indicate that my version of Safari 5.7 is no longer supported by gmail. I can't find any version of Safari later than 5.7 which is for WINDOWS. Can you please advise? Thanks.

    5.1.7 is the most recent: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531
    Last update was in 2012.
    I am an Apple guy. The only windows machine I use belongs to my employer. But honestly, Safari for Windows is a dog. You need to find another browser. A newer version of IE should work well with Gmail, and of course there is always Chrome or FireFox.

  • Which jre & tomcat version do you recommend for this hardware setup?

    I have to install a SINGLE JSP application onto an Intel pentium3 windows XP box with 128Mb of RAM clocked at 733Mhz
    1. Is this setup sufficient for running tomcat?
    2. Which version of tomcat and which JRE do you recommend for this setup?
    3. Would I get better performance running Jetty, and if so which version?

    The issue of changing native folder hierarchy and/or naming conventions has little to do with solid state media and everything to do with the container and header data that links the audio/video streams with the metadata and thus allows the content or "media essence" to be properly decoded and played.  This is the very reason to use a tool like Prelude or Premiere's Media Browser or even Bridge or Lightroom or a third party logging tool like metafuze or shotputpro, or dedicated camera format software such as sony xdcam clipbrowser or panasonic p2 browser, redcine x, ect, as these tools all are designed to parse the captured A/V data and make properly syntaxed edits to the metadata either embedded directly into the media container or in Prelude and Premiere's case can also be written back to a sidecar or associated XMP file, which is a flavor of XML that contains all the original captured metadata plus any changes and/or additions made via these tools.
    The dangers come into play when changes to the native file naming convention or folder hierarchy are done directly to the media content via finder on mac or explorer on windows, as changing at that level can break the relationship between the metadata stream and the media essence since the changes are not being written to the metadata or content headers or being handled in a manner referred to as transmuxing..
    Prelude & Premiere's Media Browser both allow for looking into the native files non-destructively and safely modifying either the metadata linked to the native media or also allows for a transcode to be done which will then copy or recreate a new media file in whatever format selected along with a new metadata stream.
    Prelude is a nice utility and Premiere's Media Browser an amazing tool for organizing, modifying and selectively ingesting media and or making quick selects and assemblies.

    You suspect wrongly.  The Lenovo upgrade disk is one version only, either x86 or x64 but not both.
    The Microsoft operating systems licences that come bundled with Lenovo systems (and it's pretty much the same for all vendors)  are all for either x86 or x64 only.  So Microsoft requires the upgrades to similarly licenced.
