What can I do? This is a Windows 98 Japanese OS with a 32MB SDRAM memory.
According to what I read on the internet page, if I read it right, in order to get JRE, you have to get the JDK installer going and then choose only the JRE to install, if you want only the JRE. Is that right?
I think you'll find that 32MB will not be sufficient (for Java 1.5.x). There will be little difference (if any) in memory requirements for older versions as well. A minimum of 64MB seems to be the norm - but depending on the type of application you are trying to run, you'll probably find 64MB to be on the small side.
See this link for more info:
JRE 5.0 System Requirements As far as I know
you should be able to download the JRE separately. I usually download the JDK, so I may be wrong. However this page seems to suggest that the JRE can be downloaded as a separate
unit.
