Solution to Missing/No Java Section in Advanced tab of IE7 Browser
This problem was reported by one of our readers that in his Vista operating System there was no section of Java in the Internet Options of IE7 even after installing the latest updates from the official Java site (one that is shown below)

Java is required while browsing internet and to open many pages that require a small java applet to be opened up. Java is required by every browser whether it is Internet Explorer or Firefox. To restore the missing Java section in the web browsers just follow the following steps. However you can also perform the following steps to disable the Java from browsers.
Steps:
1. Open Control Panel.
2. If your computer is updated with the updates of Java then you would see “Java” options there.
3. Open the Java control panel, go to Advanced tab.
4. See the option of “Default Java for Browsers” setting.

5. Check the button of “Microsoft Internet Explorer” to integrate IE with Java.
Similarly you can do it for other browsers installed. Hope the problem is solved.

Thanks, But I have already checked that, in fact, IE was selected by default in vista. Moreover, you cannot alter it also coz it was disable for user.

I’ve spent the better half of my weekend grappling with this. Am stuck at the exact some point - Java doesn’t appear in the Advanced - Internet Options Tab & the Java default browser checks IE but is disable for user edit.
Could this prob be fixed by checking for new win updates / installing ie8?

You may consider upgrading to IE8 or any other browser

I have the same problem. I am on Internet Explorer 7. I have the latest Java version installed but when I open Advanced tab on the Java control panel the Microsoft Internet Explorer box is checked but grayed out.

I was using IE8 on Vista. No Java section in Advanced tab. Under the Java Control Panel, Microsoft Internet Explorer is grayed out. I uninstalled IE8 and went back to IE7. I removed Java from my machine and reinstalled v6u13. My problem has not gone away.

I reinstalled IE8 and I still don’t have Java. I downloaded Google’s Chrome and not only is it MUCH faster than IE8, it also runs Java. Goodbye IE8, hello Chrome!

I have this exact same problem to the letter. Using IE8, Java doesn’t appear in the Advanced - Internet Options Tab & the Java default browser checks IE but is disabled for user edit (greyed out).
HELP!!??!?!

Anyone find the solution to this? I’m so frustrated. I have the same problem as everyone else. Java doesn’t appear in the advanced tab section and the Microsoft Internet Explorer is checked already but grayed out. There’s nothing I can do. I’ve spent hours upon hours trying to resolve this. Anyone figure this out? Please help!

I took Pierre’s advice above and installed google’s chrome. Oh my gosh is this the best ever! I was able right away to print coupons that uses java and the speed is unbeatable. Thank you Pierre for the awesome advice. Google’s chrome is free too! Can’t beat this.
