strangely, that option does not appear after the installation. thus, i can use java on firefox, but not on iexplore…
I’ve been trying to fix a problem I have with getting into vereconference that uses Java – when I download the program and it tries to open the splash screen in Java – it says Splash: recv failed – and then quits… also there is no option as the pic you show in IE under Tools/IO/Java – no Java no Microsoft VM listed whatsoever… in FF (which is what I usually use) the program also doesn’t work. Any ideas?
Same thing happens as what Kali notes above. The Java section does not appear in the Advance Internet Options after the installation. Haven’t tried Firefox though.

I couldn’t find Java in internet options/advanced too.
die die …
This web page appears to be totally useless. Why can’t someone give a helpful response to the JAVA questions.
The instructions above are totally useless, i.e.,
Click the Advanced tab.If Java is installed, there will be a Java section in the Settings list. To enable Java, select the option under Java. To disable Java, clear the option under Java. When you are finished, click OK.
OK wise guy, what happens if JAVA is installed on the machine but there is no JAVA section in IE settings ?????
When trying to enable Java through my IE Web browser, I can’t find Sun Java in the list. Does anyone have a solution?
I had the same problem: the Javascript wasn’t working and “Java section in the Settings list” was not visible. I tried many things. Finally I went to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and did a reset. Then I noticed a small icon at the top of the browser. It is next to the refresh button and looks like a page with a green break line in the middle. If the mouse moves over it, a note mentions “compatibility view, websites designed for older browsers will …”. I clicked on it, and suddenly the java content was activated and the problem resolved.
I my I am also having issues , and its a pain cause I need to work on Quick Books online every day it my daily work function and I just cant get to do my work I have just emailed Java to see if they have any suggestions I have tried everything I hope an answer comes soon, I had no issues when I had Internet exp 7, since I download the Internet exp 8 I am having issues, I tried uninstalling the IE8 and it wont god what a mess now.. grrrr I have windows vista Home premium..
i have not heard of that one, Clemens. i have been searching to resolve this issue for almost a month. my problem was created when i created a new administrator account in vista and deleted the original one. since then java just didn’t seem to exist on my machine. i wish i would have seen your post earlier. i eventually saved everything and used the recovery partition to bring vista back to the original install. everything is working fine (for now.)
well to take that a little further, apparently compatibility mode is only with IE8. my problem was with IE7. windows is frustrating. like taking care of a small child thats sick all of the time.
One more with the problem. Running IE8 + Vista Home.
If one of you solve the problem – please keep us posted ! Im freaking out soon. Done 4-5 re-installation (offline etc.)
Nick’s on the right track:
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and do a reset.
In IE8 there is no entry for Java in Tools Internet Options Advanced. The picture at the top must be for IE7.
My problem was as above: Java 6 r13 working in FF & Maxthon, not in IE8. Reinstalling Java was no help, nor disabling IE addons.
On the other hand, I still don’t know what exactly caused the problem..!
