Windows XP <spit>

I hope I'm posting in the right forum here. Apologies if I' not - please be gentle !!

Okay, I've just installed XP and apart from the fact that virtually none of my hardware now works I'm left with various errors from XP telling me that my Java Plug-in (1.3.0_01) won't work and I need to update my software. Hmmm.

Well, without wanting to dent my internet experience I'd love to make sure I'm up to date and that includes being able to run Java. I have to admit that I'm not sure of the differences between a Java plug-in and a VM but what do I need to do to make sure everything runs okay ?

I'm a developer but don't use Java - it's just for browsing that I'm concerned.

Many thanks.

David.

The Java Plug-In is a JRE that allows a browser to support Java 2 applets. A JRE includes the class libraries and a JVM.

I don't think there's a Java Plug-In that works with Windows XP or IE 6 yet.
