Solve : how to reconfigure the JRE without reinstalling it??

Answer»

I'd installed JRE for IE once before and now I want to configure it for Firefox too. In this way I did the recommended SETTING at Control Panel->Java console for Firefox but it still prompt me to download the required Java Plug-in while running the applets.

one more clue that may help you to diagonise the problem, at browser's Java Console the user home DIRECTORY is C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator

why it so? even though the installed JRE location is C:\Program files\java\JRE1.6_03

here is Windows XP SP3
JRE1.6_03 is an outdated version of Java. You NEED to install the new version using Firefox.

Your Java is out of date.

Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to infect your system.

Install the new version Sun Java Runtime Environment

Remove the old version(s)

  • Go to add/remove programs and uninstall all old versions.
  • Download JavaRa and unzip the file to your Desktop.
  • Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
  • Once complete exit JavaRA and DELETE the program.
  • Run CCleaner.
I've done all whatever I supposed to be but the problem is yet to be solved.

- have installed JRE 1.6.0 U6 after uninstalling PREVIOUS virsion
didn't make any changes, problem still persist

- tried reinstalling Firefox
didn't make any changes

- updated Firefox from V2.0.0.5 to V3.0 after uninstalling previous version.
didn't make any changes


I cant get one thing, Why the user directory for java shown as C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator(there is not any such directory at this location) in java console for browser, while the java installation directory is C:\Program files\java\JRE 1.6_06
In Firefox click Tools > Options > Content

There are options in there for Java.
