Get the latest version of java for your web browser from here\nhttp://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp\n\n(I assume internet explorer 5 at least, iether on windows 2000 or XP (it has IE6 built in)).\nJava is a, Object orientated programming language which is used to write aplets, scripts and some other interesting stuff. If you are getting a lot of error messages from different sites your version is iether very old or you don't have one. Internet explorer comes with microsofts JAVA virtual machine, but you should use the SUN version.\n\nIf it's just acertain site and different page are giving the errors then their may be error with thier code or their server side java handler (not sure it thats the correct term).\n\nI do believe however the problem is on your side. Download the new java and check what happens from there.\n\nOn a more serious note, you or someone might have disabled javascript capablities in your browser for security reasons  but i doubt it.\n\nEDIT: after you install java you might need to check if windows is using the sun java of microsft's implementation, just in case. Assuming you have windows with latest service pack (SP 4 for 2000, SP2 for XP), goto CONTROL PANEL and then ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS. Clcik the icon marked SET PROGRAM ACCESS AND DEFAULTS on the left. Mark the CUSTOM option box and click on the down arrow on the right.Scroll down to CHOOSE A VIRTUAL MACHINE FOR JAVA, make sure it is set to USE MY CURRENT VIRTUAL MACHINE FOR JAVA and press OKAY.\n\nP.S. Get Firefox while you are downloading java, it is way better, but you still need hte new java wether you use Firefox or not http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\n\nFirefox doesn't have java bundled with it, but it has java support, if i am not mistaken. Opera on the otherhand can be download with the option of having java bundled with it

You need to enable it first.\nThen you have to restatrt your computer.\nI assume you already downloaded it?\n\nGo to your "tools" menu, then to the "advanced" tab, now scroll down till you see "Java". check the box to enable it.\nNow restart....PRESTO!

Joe, which internet are you living in?  Most pages dont' use asp or java servlets.  Most use PHP and MySql.  Or just Html, ajax, etc.\n\nI think the question was really, why do you need to the <html> tag at the begining of a html document.  It's to tell the computer how to render it.

First of all, did it install correctly? Is it enabled in your browser? Go to Internet properties in the tools menu and see if it is...if not, delete it, and then re-install it and use the tool that java has that lets you know if Java is installed and working on your computer. Just click the link that says something like "test your java software" .\n\nIts been a while since i've done it, but i had the same problem.\n\nlook for a link on the Java website that lets you email for customer assistance.

You can get the latest version of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment), which is what its asking for, directly from Sun Microsystems, the creators of Java:\n\nhttp://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Hi Many of my friends had the same issue so follow these steps and you will do fine!\n\n► Install the latest Java Virtual Machine\nMost likely, all you need to do is download the latest version of Java from java.com. This is a free download and will only take a few minutes, depending on your connection speed.\n\n► Ensure that your browser is using the correct Java VM\n\n► If you've recently visited java.com to get the latest version of Java, and are still having problems, then your browser may still be configured to use the default Java virtual machine, rather than the one from Sun Microsystems.\n\n► ► Windows users\n1. Close all browser windows.\n2. Open the Windows control panel.\n* Windows 2000: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.\n          * Windows XP: Start -> Control Panel.\n3. Select "Java Plug-In".\n* Windows XP: You might need to select "Switch to classic view" or "Other Control Panel Options" to access this option.\nIf you cannot locate the "Java Plug-In" option in the control panel, you probably don't have the latest version of Java installed properly.\n4. Select the "browser" tab.\n5. Ensure that the checkbox next to your browser is checked. If it is not checked, check the box and select "apply." Then try playing Kingdoms of Arcania again. If the checkbox was already checked, the continue reading.\n\nThats it!\n\nI had this problem like 5 minutes ago :)

Alternatively try this link (which should take you directly - but slowly - into the "Anything Goes" room) \nhttp://games.yahoo.com/games/applet.html?room=pool_int_c&prof_id=chat_pf_1&small=no&size=800&follow=&nosignedcab=yes&clicked=yes\n(I use that almost daily, with never a problem).\n\nNow, if still any problem, first (of course) I assume you DO click the "Click here if applet fails to load" - AND you still wait a fair time, like literally 3 minutes ?\n\nIf so, I'd suggest perhaps your JAVA is wrong or absent. Check/update that here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml\n\nLastly, it would be real nice if you (Mr.Asker!) come BACK here, and either choose which answer solved your question... or if none, then Add Details to your question to explain why not and ask for MORE help !

Usually the framework for javascript is included in browser packs: IE has it, Firefox has it too. However if for some reason you can't run java applets on the web, you might want to try and download the JRE (Java Runtime Environment, from java.sun.com)
