Two not so necessary updates

March 9, 2008

Update #1

DirectX runtimes.

MSFT released its march update to the DirectX runtimes.

This is not an imperative update.

Use it only if some game is complaining about not finding some directx

"something".

There is no harm in installing this update and no reboot is required.

I have already done it, I like to have my dll's up to date.

Update #2

Sun has a new update of its Java Machine.

Go to the "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 5" and click on the

download button.

Note that the one you want to download is the 32-bit one.

"jre-6u5-windows-i586-p.exe" for offline installation or

"jre-6u5-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe" for online installation.

It gives IE 32-bit Java support.

Don't forget to uninstall the previous version first.

I just don't know how they have not figured out to do it automatically when

installing new versions.

I also adds an unnecessary entry in the startup group (registry) that you

can disable with no risks. It is a program named jusched.exe or something

like that.

Last but not least, there is still no working 64-bit Java for IE 64-bit.
