Hello,
I need to know how and where I can get a free java download . I do a lot of Biblestudy work and the two study and chat site I go too now says I need to have Java installed before I can chat and so on one their site. I have looked on different sites but which one do I choose.Do you have any suggestions to which one I need to load on my desk top.We have Java before but this PC just came back from shop,and the Java program was removed.
If you would and know of a free down load that will work on biblestudy's with chat rooms at the same time , please let me know.
Thanks, Mr Kendall Adkins

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.
