How do I activate Java on MS Internet Explorer?

Question

I am using Microsoft Internet Explorer (i just updated it), and I do have Java 1.3. But I'm trying to play this particular game, and it's not working...the game is not loading. I checked the site's FAQ, and it says my Java may not be activated. How do I do this? I play games here on Yahoo often, and I think my Java works for them, what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Simply put, once you open an applicationt that has a Java applet in it (meaning it uses Java) it should automatically work. The problem might just be that that one game doesn't work. There are times when it doesn't like to work. If it doesn't don't get too upset. Also, you might be able to find a "troubleshooting section" about how to activate Java (if it really isn't activated.) Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

Check that IE has Java by going to

(1) click on Tools
(2) click on Manage Add-Ons
(3) is there a Sun Java Console? If so, check to see it's enabled.

You can also try:

(1) click on Tools
(2) click on Internet Options
(3) click on the Advanced tab
(4) scroll down to Java

There are also some ways it might be turned off for security.

(1) click on Tools
(2) click on Internet Options
(3) click on the Security tab
(4) click on Custom Level
(5) scroll down to Java (check that out)
(6) scroll down to Scripting (check that out, where it says "Scripting of Java Applets")

Hope that helps!

Ya, try wat Angel said. If still doesnt work, then visit www.java.com and install recent updates which many games require now. Current version of JAVA is 1.5 If the problem still persists, go to Start, select Control Panel, click on Java and configure some general settings there. Hope this will help.

Answer 4

Try going to "Tools" then Internet options. Click the far-right tab that says "Advance" and scroll down to where it says "Java" and enable it from there.

Answer 5

Go to your Internet properties and check on advanced tab-that is the very last tab and scroll down the java part..try to see it it is marked or not...
