Java won't work

[Chiqqy]

Hello,
My java isn't working and I have done all the uninstalling and reinstalling that I can possibly do!
When I go to play shockwave or popcap games on those sites or on msn or pogo they won't work and i don't know what to do next.
I have been able to play these game for years now but ever since I updated at windows update it's all gone wrong.
I got a virus warning while updating and deleted that file but it turned out to be a fake so got the file bak again the file was c:\windows\Java\classes\xmldso.cab

Does anyone have any idea why I'm having this trouble??

THe windows update probably foobar'd the Java installation. If all you want to do is to run Java programs (Play the games etc) then you should go here : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html and download the JRE.

The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment and that's what you need to run java programs. If you want to develop Java programs (compile debug etc) then you should download both the SDK (Software Development Kit) as well as the documentation.

That should get you up and running again.
