Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
Some Windows operating systems (XP and beyond) did not include the Java Virtual Machine.  This program allows a user to view and interact with JAVA Applets and JavaScripts.  If you do not have this program active, you may find that some active webpages have blank boxes with a red X on them.  Use the test link below.  If you see scrolling text on the right, your JVM is working fine.
