View Full Version : Any Java gurus hereabouts?

My usual source of tech advice has come up empty, so I thought I'd ask around here.

While trying to diagnose some problems with a Web site's beta GUI, I discovered that I have somehow gotten two Versions of Java installed, 1.3.0_01 and 1.3.1.

Could this double install be causing conflicts? Can I safely delete the older Version, or should I leave it there?

If it matters, this is running under Win95.

human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

FWIW, I'd recommend uninstalling both before reinstalling a clean new copy of 1.3.1. There's also a beta of 1.4 available, if'n you're feeling bold.
