I have been trying to download java 1.4.x for a couple of days now. when i get it from the sun website it states that the incorrect/ out of date microsoft installer is present. I looked into this and it needs version 2. XP pro service pack 2 instals version 3 by default. I managed to install version 1.3 and it kinda worked with a few errors, but less processor power used.

Does anyone have a version that will install on sp 2 that they can email to me of is available on a 3rd party site?

or failing that any advice, i have 5 gb of virtual memory set and that makes no differance

yours
