Java is not working on my computer. It is new computer with windows 8 and internet explorer 10. I downloaded Java and using explorer from desktop.

But every time I go on line and website requires Java I get same error message "ClassNotFoundExeption". Same error I get if I go to Java website and hit Test Java button. I tried different things that were suggested on Java.com and Microsoft.com but nothing worked. I have newest Java and did not have any problems downloading it. I appreciate any suggestions. 

Thanks,

Was the original issue ever resolved?  I still can't get Java to work and I've tried all of the above except setting up a new user account which didn't make sense.  Using Windows 8 - 64 bit, Java 32 bit and I've installed and uninstalled multiple times on the desktop.  The site I'm accessing works fine on my Windows 7 laptop and I have all the same settings in Java on both laptops.

When browsing in the Win8 App IE you can click on the Tool icon in the bottom right corner and select View on Desktop.

    Sounds reasonable. I have 32bit installed and as stated before no problems running java. I would remove all copies of Java and then install the 32bit and if this works I would say that this is the answer.,

    let us know if this works.

    If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask

    The only way I ever got Java to work was by installing the 32 bit version, even though I'm using 64 bit Win 8 and IE10.
