Okay.. I have two problems.. First..
I can't install Java Virtual Machine.. Therefore I am unable to enter chats, or do many things online, including viewing Antionline correctly.. How do I install it on Windows XP Professional..?
Second.. I've been looking for a driver.. For: LG CD-RW CED-8080B with Windows XP Professional support.. The CD-Rom was working for a short while.. But the drivers were out of date, and I was unable to burn CDs..
Please help! Thank you so much..
First suggestion would be that you go to the windows update page. There well may be updated drivers there as well as the numerous critical updates that have surfaced since the release of XP. Then head over to the downloads page to get VM.
Im not sure about the first one but try www.driverguide.com for the driver
In addition, head over to http://www.driverguide.com/indexddc.htm if you can't find a driver at the MS site
Goto http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html solves problem 1 as for the CDRW that would be called M$ digital rights management, even if you own the CD you cannot burn a copy for the car. Call you insurance company and complain that M$ makes you haul around thousands in legally bought CD's and they are subject to theft. Then have the insurance all the whom ever people that complain they lost sales cause the art is their marketing not the music it's art. Let the insurance people ask M$ why you have to haul around originals in spite of the "fair use act" :)
what browser are you running? here's my linkfor the java runtime. it worked for me on winXP. left a little dropping on me desktop too. eww.: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html it worked for me, but i use mozilla.
not sure what the problem is with your cd player. be more specific... here's what i found: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ED-8080B+WinXP
good luck and keep us updated!
ok, first Professional is limited to what you can install, so use home edition. second, i use nero 5.5 and it works fine. But first you have to go to windows explorer, right cick on the cd_rw drive and click properties. then go to burning tab and unselect the ticked box that burns through windows. then nero should work.
That is what I found too. I agree with qwerty_smith that you need to be more specific. Can't offer help if don't know what the nature of your problem is.Quote:

If the above link doesn't help you can usually download newer drivers from the manufacturer's website.
Good luck
If you need the MS Java Virtual Machine, PM me with a working e-mail address and I'll e-mail it to you (I did it for someone else recently too, since MS pulled it off of their site).
As for the burning, download the updates for either Nero - Burning Rom or Roxio Easy CD Creator. They should allow the CD writer to work. You don't need specific drivers... XP will automatically detect it. But you need an XP compatible cd-writing program to allow for the actual writing process (I personally like Nero much more than Roxio)

In what way is Professional limited compared to Home? That's news to me..........
Okay.. I went around looking for drivers on the LG CD-RW.. I was looking for nearly 3 hours and I finally found it on the bottom of some driver forum.. Didn't work.. So.. I was able to find a generic cd-rom driver for the LG.. Now I just have to get a copy of Nero..
As for the Java.. I'll have to try those sites... Thanks guys.. So far..
Xp Pro......the BEST thing that ever happened to me!!! :hiphop:
Be good........
tons of fun
nah it has nothing to do with updating the cd program because i remember when i had that problem and i updated so much and it never worked, so then i took my sorry butt down to best buy at 10 am and i told them the problem so they tell me ok well it has something to do with your machine were gunna have to take it down to the factory im like " hell naw" my computer is my respirator so then this really nice person took my computer apart and did his techie thing and OMG it worked! but the funny thing was it worked fine one day and then stopped the next so what i suggest to you is if you have a warranty or willing to pay $$$ go to where u bought ur computer at and demand they fix it! i wish u the best luckQuote:

btw i waited 3 hours inline for this to be done :D
Don't they have a download for WinXp for Java. It's weird cuz mine came with it already.
JC, Windows XP (as far as I know from what I've read) did not come with Java Virtual Machine, but it was available as a download via the WindowsUpdate site. After problems with Sun Microsystems, though, they took the JVM off the site and said they would incorporate it into XP SP1. Since then, however, rumor has it they once again pulled it out, but I'm not sure. I have the full JVM downloaded onto one of my servers so I can install it if/when I format one of my XP machines, that way I don't have to worry about it.
As for the CD-RW question, kraftwerk, I still stand behind the idea that you don't need any updated drivers for your CD-RW. If your Windows installation detects that there is a CD drive present and installs the proper drivers, you're fine. Since you're having problems, it's most likely because your CD writing software does not support the drive. The only way to resolve that is to try installing an update for your CD writer. Roxio Easy CD Creator Basic, for example, supports many more CD writers than the Platinum version, because there have been more updates released for Basic since it is what comes preinstalled with computers which have agreements with Roxio (you can then upgrade to Platinum for $99 or something). In my experience, though, CD writers that weren't supported by Roxio were supported by Nero - Burning Rom, and there are many updates released to further the supprt every few weeks. Download the trial of Nero - Burning Rom from www.nero.com and see if it resolves your problems. I'm fairly certain it will.

The Java download worked great, thank you guys.. As for either Roxio or Nero, I'll have to wait on that, unless I get a burned copy.. Thanks again..
cant you find in www.download.com?
just for your information. JAVA isnt installed by default with Windows XP. due to JAVA being owned by SUN MICROSYSTEMS. Microsoft wanted revenge on the *nix developers. (if youd like to say) so they dont install it by default. you will have to install it yourself or get a third party JAVA compiler.

Professional Is far better!
