How to Know If Java Is on a Computer?
Java is a browser plugin that enables you to perform a variety of multimedia functions on your browser such as playing games or chatting in Internet chatrooms. If you are unsure whether your computer is Java enabled, you can find out easily without downloading or installing third-party applications. If your computer does not have Java, you can also install and enable the application on your web browser.
