How come every time when i am using my internet explorer or my aol browser, when i get to a java website, a window popsup telling me "install demand " "Microsoft Virtual Machine" needs to be installed on your pc to open this website, and so I click "ok", and then it installs about 75%, and then stops and another window popsup telling me that i need to insert CD #2 into my pc to finish the install??? i have no idea what they are talking about, and i have tried to istall this numerous times, only not being able to get past the part to insert the cd(which i do not have) IOn turn, i am not able to open any java webpages making my gaming very limited to almost none at this time. PLEASE HELP!!! I've researched this problem so many times and keep coming up empty handed. thanks

I can't suggest as to why this is happening, but I can give you the URL to download VM to install it manually.
http://www.microsoft.com/java/vm/dl_vm40.htm
(please remove any spaces)

This is the "Download the Microsoft Virtual Machine for Internet Explorer 5.01 and Visual Studio - Microsoft Technologies" page. It has a download link to pull down the install file.

hopefully, this will take care of your problem.

actually, this probably has to do with the Sun lawsuit against MS concerning IOD...Sun won the suit saying MS cannot any longer accept IOD requests for JVM. you can d/l SP1 for XP or d/l JVM from sun or microsoft directly
