Try the following and see if it helps:

Because of a court decision Microsoft will stop all Java support after 30
SEP 04 and is recommending that you use the Sun JRE:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/win_manual.jsp

or..........

You can get the new Sun Java J2SE RunTimes or SDK here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html (all versions - select using the
dropdown)

or here: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp

Sun also offers an automatic download and install of the 1.4 Java plug-in
here: http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

or.........

Download the Microsoft Java VM for Windows XP here
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Or you can download it from one of these locations:

or
