Windows XP does not support Java!

I was not surprised to see the statement from Microsoft that they will remove the JVM from their new operating system Windows XP, as it is "unecessary files for the user".
This causes a huge problem for all companies basing themselves on making applets. The reason for using applets is to provide web functionality without having to download plug-ins, but now this is no longer workable.
As a solution I request that Sun should come to the rescue here, as Microsoft surely will not be helpful.
What we need is a TINY file that will replace the functionality of the MS Java for the Internet Explorer. No huge 1.3 libraries, only the most basic things needed to run 1.1 applets like the MS virtual machine could. This system should be EXTREMELY easy to install for the end user. Just one click, and only the very, very basic files needed to replace the functionality should be installed. And only for the browser, to save space.
Basically what we need is a Java applet viewer plugin for Internet Explorer, that downloads extremely fast and that has installation procedures almost invisible to the end-user.
I emphasize on TINY (no 5MB huge beast!) and EXTREMELY easy to install. I am aware there exists solutions today, but they do not follow these criterias. This would be like a Java Browser Micro Edition for applets. Also, new VMs seem to be almost in practice non-functinal running applets written for Java 1.0 or 1.1, as we have seen in Netscape 6 which can run only a few existing applets, and very poorly. Please use the 1.1. standard, this will also save downloading time.
I expect Sun to take this seriously, as an applet free web would surely void a lot of work put into this branch of Java. And as a Java developer through several years, I would not think twice leaving Java in favour of C# if Sun does not provide a web browser solution for me, and everyone else depending on applets on the net. Not because I want to, but I see no other real world functional options now.

As a solution I request that Sun should come to the rescue here, as Microsoft surely will not be helpful.<<<You are right. Sun should come to the rescue here. Sun is not only helping us, but also helping Sun itself.

I expect Sun to take this seriously, as an applet free web would surely void a lot of work put into this branch of Java. <<<To get Sun's attention, we should help Sun realize that Java will become un-popular, maybe even disappears, because of this. I am not sure they really care there is a lot of work put into this branch of Java (sorry if I am wrong).
I just don't understand why this type of solution is not available today. Everybody (including a guy like me who is always in the dark) could see what MS would do even two years ago.
Sun, if you don't give us a solution, I will switch to C#, "Not because I want to, but I see no other real world functional options now."
Did I get somebody's attention? Could we get more people to talk to Sun?

NOKIA lumia windows 8 phones not supporting JAVA

Hi Nokia lumia latest windows 8 phones not supporting java. I Think its a big draw back because we cant install any java apps like Mobile banking Apps. Java apps market increasing day by day. Why nokia avoid this feature. is there any solution for this problem.

no solution unfortunately, however you may be able to try your luck with the WebApps app from the Store, and then search for your particular mobile banking website within that app.
and no, it is not Nokia that is not implementing support for Java, it is part of the Microsoft Windows Phone 8 operating system. if you wish to leave feedback with them, you can do so over at http://windowsphone.uservoice.com

Version 3.6.14 has a bug & does not support Java to play Pogo games - How do I install a earlier version?

Pogo games plays on Java - the last version of Firefox 3.16.14 has a bug that does not support Java - I have been instructed by Pogo to install an earlier version of Firefox. How do I do that?

Firefox 3.6.15 was just released to fix that Bug.
You can use Help > '''Check for Updates''' to trigger an update to Firefox 3.6.15.

I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or Flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching it and replacing it with a competitors product

I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching an expensive toy for a competitors product that offers full business functionallity. Is there any way round this ? It seems extremely bad form on apples part not to support this or make it very clear of the products limitations at the time of purchase.

Well, my bank has an app but the website does not use Flash or Java. While my credit union doesn't have an app, their website doesn't require Flash or Java either.
I pay all my bills online, bank, and access my brokerage accounts. None of the sites I have encountered require Flash or Java. Some government sites do require Flash so I use Photon, it's a browser that does Flash content very well. So you might check out some alternatives browsers.
Otherwise I suppose you will either dump you bank, your iPad, or just not do online banking.

Windows Explorer does not like java-files

First, I know this is very off-topic, but bear with me anyway.
I have discovered that the search-function in Windows-Explorer shows an erratic behaviour when encountering java-files (and probably other files). I did the following:
Created c:\temp\test.java with the following contents:
testI right-clicked on c:\temp, then search, and told it to look for test. Nothing. Renamed the file test.java->test.txt. Tried another search and found the file. Ok, probably an index problem, ignoring all java-files.
Then I tried the following
Choosed the root of a project with over 1000 java-files, set to search for the keyword public. Nothing. I tried the keyword class. Nothing. Then I tried for, and voila, 8 files found.
Has anyone else encountered this particular Windows-Feature? I am using Windows XP SP2. Can anyone verify if this is a SP2 problem?
Bonus question: Does anyone know the algorithm of this Microsoft-search?

Windows search does also look for text in certain
files, and ".java" is not one of them. You need to
add the extension to the search list by manually
adding data to the registry
(http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle
.asp?ID=323).Ah yes. But... why does it find some files?
That is the thing what bothers me. If it hadn't found
anything, I would say the usual "Win is crap" phrase
and forget about it.I thought the index server might be causing that.

Downloaded HGTV design program. When I tried to open it i got msg "MS Windows apple does not supported MOSX"

This would indicate that you downloaded a Windows version of the program. Check for a Mac version.

LiveCycle does not support Java 7

This is more of a comment than a question if anyone else has this issue. Java 6 reached end of life in February of 2013 and security scanner has begun to flag it a secrious security vulnerability. I work on several governmetn projects and we are being forced to upgrade to Java 7, but I can't do this with LiveCycle. Has anyone gotten LiveCycle to work with Java 7?

out TAM told us not to use JAVA 7. I too am in govt.
Here is the supported platforms for ES3.

FYI, even on the beta of ES4 the third party folder came with JAVA 6.

Lumia 1520 does not support Bluetooth Keyboard (HI...

I would very much like to buy a Lumia 1520 as it would spare me from carrying both a phone and a tablet.
However, I am not going to as, for reasons which utterly defeat me, the Bluetooth stack does not support a keyboard. The HID (Human Interface Device) aspect has not been included.
I am utterly baffled by this simple omission. From my Nokia N95 through to my N8 I was able to use a keyboard. I even still have a Nokia one which folds.
Would someone from Nokia be good enough to:-
a. let me know why this bit of simple but basic functionality has been left out?
b. when, if ever, it is likely to be included in an update?

Agreed on all points -
1. Lack of HID support is a glaring omission that needs to be fixed
2. Microsoft is responsible for omitting HID support (which existed in Windows Mobile 6.5!)
3. There is hope for the future when Nokia/Microsoft collaboration is tighter after the merger.
As mentioned above, a WP device can see a bluetooth keyboard - it can even perform the pairing handshake. It generates a random code, you enter the code on the BT keyboard, the two become paired. But then nothing.
I can add a little insight to this conversation: If you were to ask Microsoft folks, the answer would probably go something like this: "We have a finite number of resources. So to support one feature, we'd have to cut something else. What feature would you be willing to lose in exchange for HID support?"
I am basing this on similar conversations I've seen on MSFT discussion boards about support for entire-device backups - not piece-meal app-supported "in the cloud" data storage, but total backup/restore functionality.
I personally think it is embarassing that Windows Phone does not support the HID profile. I know we're getting close. The code is already on Windows RT for tablets. So I sure hope it's in the pipeline for WP. Time will tell I suppose.

IE11/Win 8.1 error 'Your client does not support opening this list in windows explorer'

I hoping someone might be able to help with this frustrating issue.
I work on a project where we are using various versions of on-line SharePoint (2007/O365). In order to quickly drag and drop folders we need to often open the document libraries by using the 'open in windows explorer view'.
Using the same device, on occassion this works. But often it gives a rather unhelpful message 'Your client does not support opening this list in Windows Explorer'.
I've searched for this issue over the net and confirm that the sites are added to the 'trusted' sites area and that the 'remember you credientials' is checked on logging in.However, the searches do not seem to apply to IE11/Win8.1 or on-line version of sharepoint
(the suggested hot fix is not suitable)
Only this morning, using the same device I was able, for a short while to open in explorer view, and then for no apparent reason, it began to display the error message. I had changed nothing regarding settings or even closed the browser.
Do you have any support/ideas/fixes on how to resolve this.
Many thanks
val

Hi Val,
sometimes an answer can be found on the internet by typing the error message from your computer into your favourite search engine.
eg.

follow the directions given above.... you need to add the domains to your Intranet sites list, not the Trusted sites list.
Perhaps you already have it mapped to your intranet zone....in which case make sure that you have unchecked "Enable Enhance Protected Mode" on the Intranet zone dialog in Internet Options.
If this is happening 'randomly' on client machines, then users are probably changing their internet security settings in Internet Options. Ensure they are accepting the default.... Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
Consult with your system administrators to find out if they are applying a custom security template for the Intranet zone... It may be removing the sharepoint domains from the client Intranet zone's domains lists.
HTH.

i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar. How do I get rid of this?

You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root /Library
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
The next one is in your Home folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
When you're done, try Safari.

I have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this?

Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.

Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am trying to open a document library in Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server and I am receiving Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to open a document library with the Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server. But you received the following error message: Your client
does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
There can be multiple reasons for it.
So, I recommend you can check with the following steps:
Go to the “Server Manager” of “Administrative Tools” > Enable the “Desktop Experience” feature in your environment.
Go to the “Services” of “Administrative Tools” >
Ensure the “WebClient” service is started.
Ensure that your computer has supported Web browser.
Ensure that Internet Explorer is configured correctly to add
https://*.sharepoint.com to Local intranet site in the “Security Tab” of “Internet Options”.
Ensure that
you have applied the latest updates on the system.
For more information, you can refer to the following articles:
