my computer wizard stops java from completly downloading?

If this is trying to use the online installer for 32-bit Windows, try the offline installer instead. It seems to handle a wider range of system configurations. (AFAIK, the 64-bit installers are all offline so far.)

This is "Programming & Design", so I expect you're trying to install the JDK. If you're not interested in writing programs in Java, though, you should get the JRE instead. Find both at:

For the x86 (32-bit Windows) installer, click Download under JDK or JRE and choose the offline installer. Run the downloaded program with an administrator login/runas.

Your avatar feels like me (and mine). It sounds like your pc is reacting to the internet internet site... (perhaps being older) so which you would be able to desire to probable attempt downloading an older version of Java or pass to a distinctive internet site to purpose. this would help. additionally, if your desktops sluggish there could be to lots junk on your pc. So attempt deleting some classes which you do no longer use usually. that is going to additionally speed up your pc.
