What is the deal with Java updates? I am running XP and will have to do something soon so I don’t even know if I need this. I tried to update but something went wrong, should I just say No to this now?
If you do not have a program that it needs java to run you most probably will never need it ever.
Oracle SUN is releasing 2 Java versions. One is version 8u5 for Vista, Win 7, 8, and 8.1. This will not work on Windows XP. The second version is 7u55 that support Windows XP. You can download it from here.
Choose Java SE 7u 55 JRE: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
