Thanks TVjunkie.
in my desktop I do not have even installed java: I use the portable versions. I prefer always older versions, since I notice that with software there is a common pattern I don't like: any new version requires much more RAM and HDD space. (For instance WinXP: 1Gb max of HDD vs Win7 that needs 10Gb min, up to 25Gb max). But your info on java, put the matter in different perspectives. Thanks.
Moreover the portable java version I tried works in WinXp also in its v.1.8 (probably is not the latest built). With FRD however I did not find a way to make it work by placing the java portable folder in the same main FRD folder (usually it works giving it the name jre) or in a root above FRD placed in a folder called Common Files. I do not know if there is another trick.
