Sounds like you may have a hijacked browser. This can happen when you download certain programs like kazaa, etc. If you have the yahoo toolbar, run the spyware remover and get rid of them all. If you don't have the toolbar, click on the link to download. This will get rid of that problem!\n\nSource(s):\nhttp://companion.yahoo.com/

Download Java Virtual machine  from http://java.sun.com or Microsoft Virtual machine from microsoft website. There will always be an Issue with IE and Java

I'm having the exact same problem.  I've tried multiple browsers, I've made sure Java was updated, nothing works.  It's not your system, it's Yahoo's fault, but their customer service is worthless, there's nothing we can do. For anyone who hasn't bought it yet, please don't buy it.

This is saying that your windows version cannot be verified as legitimate. Also make sure you have Service Pack 2 on your PC. Without that, it cannot run. You also have to have enough space for it. If you have these things, you might have to email microsoft or yahoo about the trouble.\n\nBtw, I just downloaded myself today on my oldest PC to test it before putting it on my laptop. And so far I REALLY like it. It's a little unually looking, but once you take the tour to learn about the features, it's no harder to use that the old version. Plus, the security is better and it compacts the menu bars so you can see more on the screen. I think it's nice. I'm going to test it for these "bugs" they talk about before putting it on the laptop, but so far I see no problems.\n\nGood luck. I hope you can get it downloaded.

Actually I had a similar problem. Surprisingly (and unfortunately) Windows 2000 does NOT have a compatability mode, like XP does. I eventually upgraded, but yea, my program wouldn't work. Give it a shot though. Good luck.

Seems like it is hard to find, I would try these as a starting point. I would assume it is that same as Windows XP, I have included a few articles about these requirements.

Well depending on your browsr....are you using internet explorer mozzila or some other sort of internet browser if you  you may need to update or download the java,( java is a type of computer language mainly used in programming games). and if after downloading java and it still doesn't work than just GIVE UP(jokes)

Go to the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) website at\nhttp://www.java.com\nAnd then click on "Download Now"..\n\nand then if you're using..\nInternet Explorer: Click on "Begin Download" and save it onto your desktop.\n\nMozilla Firefox: Download "Windows XPI". If that doesn't work, download the "Windows (offline installer)" file and then run it.\n\nThat's all! Thanks for asking, I could get 2 points,\nhehe =D

Java 1.5 works on windows 98. Probably the package you received was incomplete or broken.

I did a Google search and found a site that makes some suggestions.  I see it includes an idea posted above ( Start/Run/appwiz.cpl ), plus other ideas:\nhttp://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-xp/13705-missing-add-remove-programs-option.html\n\nI have had problems with other applets not working in the past, and Google helped find solutions.

As I can only check online stores right now (and I don't shop at Wal-Mart) I wasn't able to find a NEW PC for $200 and even if I could it wouldn't be running Windows... it would probably be running some version of Linux most likely Linspire which is not compatible with MS Office (but you would get Open Office with it).  That being said... Overstock.com has one right at $200, http://www.overstock.com/?page=proframe&prod_id=1726379 but the specs of it make me shiver (it's a natural reaction for me as I own two gaming PCs and build them on the side).
