 Posted: 11/20/04 - 13:17 Post subject: Fix my java
|
|
|
Java's been busted on my XP system for something like eight months now, and I'm finally fed up with it. I've tried several suggestions to fix it, and none of them work. Maybe someone here has an idea.
First of all, here's how I broke it:
I downloaded the Sun development environment, and used that for a long time. Downloaded several updates to it (which all seem to just install new versions of java, but not delete the old ones, from what I can see). Everything was fine. Then I got some stupid spyware (the one that the cwshredder.exe gets rid of). cwshredder said that the spyware was exploiting a hole in Microsoft's java VM (big surprise) and that since Microsoft's VM wasn't used anymore and Microsoft themself didn't even support it, you should just uninstall it, which I did, since I had the SUN java.
This somehow totally screwed everything. I've seen references on the web implying that if you've only ever had one vm on your system, this is OK, but if you've had multiple versions of java, the directories get organised differently and the microsoft uninstall breaks it. But none of their suggestions to fix it seem to work.
I've reinstalled the entire SUN java development package multiple times, which it happily does; it just doesn't run. I've checked entries in the registry and autoexec files and whatnot and that's not it.
What happens is that any time anything (typically a website) tries to use java, I get a popup that says:
The Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded from </bin/hotspot/jvm.dll>. Which is fair enough, since that's not where it is anymore. When I click OK it kills every IE window I have up, which is damned annoying.
I can't figure out where in the system it's telling it to look for /bin/hotspot. Any clues?

Have you run a registry cleaner? I'm willing to bet there references *obviously* to Java within the reg entries for IE. I'll boot into windows in a few and take a peek 
[edit] duh sorry I saw that you checked the registry.. how 'bout the environment variables? Are they being exported wrong?
