Download Microsoft Java Virtual Machine

If you want to email data from within REsearch Minnesota™ via Microsoft Outlook, you must have Microsoft Java Virtual Machine installed and if you have Sun or IBM Java running, you must disable it. To check whether you already have Microsoft Java Virtual Machine, in Internet Explorer, select "Tools," then "Internet Options" from the menu bar. In the Internet Options pop-up window, click on the "Advanced" tab. Scroll down to see if there is a section labeled "Microsoft VM." If so, you already have the program installed (make sure the checkbox for "JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled" is checked). If not, follow the "Option One" instructions below to download and install the program. Also, while on the Advanced tab in Internet Explorer, scroll down to see if there is a section labeled "Java (Sun)" or "Java (IBM)." If so, uncheck any boxes in that section that are checked. Any changes you make on the Advanced tab will require you to retart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Option One:

  1. Click here to download and install Java Virtual Machine.
  2. When prompted whether to Run or Save the file, click the "Run" button.
  3. After the file is finished downloading, you may see an Internet Security Warning. If so, click the "Run" button.
  4. When you are asked if you would like to install the Microsoft VM software, click the "Yes" button.
  5. Click the "Yes" button if you accept the License Agreement.
  6. When you are notified that the installation is complete, click the "OK" button.
  7. You will be prompted to restart your computer for the new software to take effect. Click the "Yes" button if you want to do this now, or click the "No" button if you want to do this later. You will not be able to email data from within REsearch Minnesota™ via Microsoft Outlook until you restart your computer.
