Hi, Heather,

 

If you're going to stay with JRE 1.5.0, it's probably best to use

1.5.0_12. IIRC there were a number of security vulnerabilites fixed in

this release.

Re: New Java Runtime Environment Update (2)

 

For AMD based windows systems they recommend to use 1.5.0_11, TomV.

I already have that version installed and will keep it, accordingly.

I have an AMD processor (XP 2200, XP 3000+ and AMD2 4600) on three

computers and all three have the latest Java RE 6, Update 2 with no

problems whatsoever. Two are running XP Pro in English and the dual core

is running XP Home in Spanish.

"They" are: http://www.java.com.

Just look under :"instructions" for download and installation.

Thought you might summarize that, Alias.

Thanks, my dear......what would I do without you re Java and Firefox,

lol. I have now downloaded it and will install it later.

 

Hope all is well with you. Just got back from (horrors!!) Europe.

Portugal to be exact. Didn't meet up with any loudmouths like Norman M.

though......unfortunately it is his type that travels usually and gives

the nice guys like you a bad name. 8-((

checked under Download and Installation and no Theys there.

Harry,

 

I don't know what you're referring to on the page. Perhaps you could

"summarize that." Why would Sun recommend a version with security

vulnerabilities for AMD processor based systems? It doesn't make sense.

 

From the page you referenced:

 

"Intel and 100% compatible processors are supported."

Better tread carefully here, after all Harry is a known expert

with Java, he does have 3386 versions of it in Add/Remove programs.

Re: New Java Runtime Environment Update (2)

 

Hi, Heather,

 

I'm well, thank you. I had seen a couple of your posts that you were

traveling in Portugal. Was it not a good trip? Or are you referring to

some of the recent goings on in London and Glasgow?

 

I had something of the wanderlust this morning and was looking at photos

of Venice. I've been there twice, and for some reason I found myself

very much drawn to it today. Maybe I had a role in the Inquisition in a

past life. ;)

 

I hope you're well.

 

Cheers,

Tom

Re: New Java Runtime Environment Update (2)

 

 

Tom:

 

Uner "Download and Install", after clicking on the "Download" button, you'll

find a note saying "for AMD based Windows systems use version

'jre-1.5.0_11-amd64.exe'. My system happens to be AMD-based.

That should clear it up for you, Tom.

As for Heather and George,

I wonder who is drinking what and in how many "versions"?

Re: New Java Runtime Environment Update (2)

 

Harry,

 

That's for a 64 bit Windows system with an AMD processor. If your OS is

Windows ME, it's not 64 bit. And update 12

(jre-1_5_0_12-windows-amd64.exe) is available for 64 bit systems as well.

 

Here's the link (it's at the bottom of the page):

Unfortunately, the link I posted won't work. You can find it using the

download link I posted for Heather. Click "Download" for the JRE. It's
