How do I Java-enable my browser?
Several chat services require that Java be enabled in your browser, or
they’ll return a message like “Sorry, your browser is not Java-enabled, you
will not be able to chat.”

Hey, This really helped me enable my Java. But I wanted to ask..When I make a change do I have to ‘restart’ my computer?..I’m not quite sure. But did really did help me. Thanks.
Using Windows operating systems, access to Control panel/Java Plug-in/Browsers. You will see one list with the available browsers; you only have to put or remove the mark in the corresponding box.
With Netscape and Mozilla browsers, go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced; there is a box to enable Java that must be marked.
The change will have an effect after all the browser windows are closed and the browser is restarted.

I went to control panel i do not se any java plug in they still sorry 4 me cuz my java is not enable what should i do
To put it simply I just want to keep Java updated. I recently used a program called “Scunia” to make sure my software was updated. 4 Java errors keep showing up. They are the same J2SE Runtime Environments. I notice in “add/remove” there are a total of 7. These 4 seem to be huge space hogs. Microsystems’ descriptions are about as simple as college calculus. What can I unistall/do without ??
I do not have a Java icon in my control panel. How do I fix this and get it back in my control panel???
