Some need step by step instructions. Sadly, I just installed the browsers and then the JRE and didn't think about it. I pressed the return key a lot, but that's all I remember. Sorry I didn't take notes.

*Moz 1.7.1, Sun JRE 1.4.2.05 Firefox 0.9.2Which to inst. 1st?*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have Moz.1.4 plus IE 5.5, Win98SE, P3, 256, 40gigs & old MS JVM.
Having read that if I use Ms JVM removal tool and inst. Sun won't be
able to enter MS Update & hotmail. Therefore I wish to slowly migrate to
Moz. for all but MS sites but to retain current for access.
Have downld'd (saved to my Docs) the 3 above programs with intent of
using Firefox w/Java enabled as main browser, Moz.171 with increasing
use as I become comfortable, and only having Sun Java inside Mozilla so
as to not interfere with Ms when it's needed. How to do this?? Believe I
must uninst. Moz.1.4 before I begin. Have exported Moz. Bookmarks to my
docs for re=inst in new 1.7 & Firefox. Also ccopy of IE Favorites.
Please understand: I'm a know nothing user who has never been able to
create a valid path barely using copy& paste & min. L.Click drag from 1
folder to another or R.click and send to, but can follow explicit instr.
fairly well. Exmp: Install Java to C:\windows\application
data\mozilla\plugins. Can type it without knowing why\ or/ or? I believe
where I saw this example the next line down noted: Besure to note Double
Forward Slash. Very Important! The exmpl only had single slashes!! Where
would double belong?? I couldn't guess!
The JRE is full Win32 off line installer exe.
Should I first install Moz. 1.7.1 and then JRE directing (how?) to
inside Moz folder then exe. the Firefox ? How to tell Firefox where java
is? Or..Java first (how to keepout of windows?) Can I, using Explorer, find un- exe'd java installer and right click "move to" the (now) first installed Firefox or Moz.1.7.1? How then to exe. it? Or if I then close Moz or Firefox and then re-open one, will they find and auto exe. the new java? Some where saw a note that must be connected to net (on dial up) when exeing Java for it to be able to auto fetch some necessary files. Is this correct?
Am desperate to do this now after procrastinating ever since Firebird .7
which I have saved but not exe'd. due to java confusion. Worse, I'm
concerned If I screw up the attempt with Java, I won't be able to access
boards to ask for further help .
Thanks in Advance for a handheld install!! ![]()
