I originally had problems with Java but was able to figure it out:
I downloaded and installed the latest JRE (
http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u...1_jul_2008.exe).
I then received a "MSVCR71.dll file not found" error whenever I tried to use Java with Chrome.
So, I copied the "msvcr71.dll" file from C:\Program Files (x86)\java\jre1.6\bin (or wherever you installed Java) to C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
Java now works!
