General Windows Issues


Network Issues

I can not see any computers (including the computer I am using) in Network Neighborhood or My Network Places. Solution

Can I do anything about all the spam I receive? Solution

Java Questions
There are two primarily Java Virtual Machines (JVM) for Windows. Microsoft provide their own through the initial release of Windows XP, which was not compatible with standard JVM's, therefore Microsoft has stopped providing their own JVM because of an agreement with SUN. Sun provides their own JVM

There are two ways to determine if you have a Microsoft JVM installed
Method 1
This method works for all versions of 32 bit Windows (95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP) For Windows 95, 98, and ME

  1. Click Start and Select Run
  2. Type Command in the Run line and press Enter
  3. At the Command prompt type jview and press Enter
You should see output similar to this. The version information is at the end of the first line.

Microsoft (R) Command-line Loader for Java Version 5.00.3810
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1996-2000. All rights reserved.

Usage: JView [options] [arguments]

Options:
/? displays usage text
/cp set class path
/cp:p prepend path to class path
/cp:a append path to class path
/n namespace in which to run
/p pauses before terminating if an error occurs
/v verify all classes
/d:= define system property
/a execute AppletViewer
/vst print verbose stack traces (requires debug classes)
/prof[:options] enable profiling (/prof:? for help)

Classname:
.CLASS file to be executed.

Arguments:
command-line arguments to be passed on to the class file


Method 2
This method works on Windows 2000. I expect it to work on ME and XP also, but I have not had a chance to test it on either of these operating systems.

  1. Click Start and select Run
  2. Type wjview in the Run line and press Enter

    3. You should see the following popup window.
