SYMPTOMS
When you try to use any of the features of the Microsoft virtual machine (Microsoft VM) for Macintosh in Internet Explorer for Macintosh, you may be unable to do so.



CAUSE
This issue can occur because Microsoft does not include a virtual machine in Internet Explorer 4.5 for Macintosh.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure your computer to use the Apple Macintosh OS Runtime Java (MRJ) virtual machine. For information about how to do so, view the documentation included with your computer, or contact Apple.



MORE INFORMATION
When you upgrade from a version of Internet Explorer that installed the Microsoft VM, the Microsoft virtual machine remains active.

If you upgrade to Apple OS 8.5, you may have the Microsoft VM listed as a choice in the Java Preferences setting, but it is not used even if it is selected.

NOTE: The Apple MRJ is the only option for computers with Apple OS 8.5.

The third-party product discussed in this article is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
