Java Sun Microsoft JVM

Question

prior to updating win98SE to WinXP HE 2 I was able to log onto an Astronomy web site.  Since installing WinXP HE2 I can log onto this site but when I try to open a particular screen called 'Interactive Sky Chart' the chart will open in 'black' with a small RED X at the upper left corner of the screen. Turned off (temp) Pop up blocker, but still cannot open this site.  A notice appears saying the problem may be due to JAVA Sun Microsoft JVM not installed. I install Java but the chart still will not open. Any 'Sky gazers out there that can help' Thanks loadplanner

I think you need to install Java.   http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Momobodog:  I just installed this from the web site you gave and I was informed that I already have Java Sum Microsoft installed.  Still can't open the page displayed.

Try activating it from this bypass link:   http://skychart.skytonight.com/observing/skychart/skychart.asp   According to their website, ' If the Sky Chart fails to work properly, please reinstall your Java plug-in — available free from java.com . You may also need to activate the Java plug-in manually'.   http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/skychart/
