With the ongoing issue of the Cool Web hijacker that is put on too many web sites, JAVA from Sun or the old MSJVM is now banished from the office machines. At the office we don't need it, so it's not loaded since it's a security issue.
As to your need. Why do you need it?

Just got new machine with XP Home and SP1a. Do I need to download MS VM or the Sun version or is it now redundant? Many thanks
