I am used to using Xp but now have Vista and am trying to use with Java for a particular program. When i try to run it i get a note saying Java system is disabled. When i go to Java control i get this:

Under the advanced tab, the Default Java
AutoDownload of JREs is Disabled in the Control Panel: Since the posted autodl bundles cannot run on Vista (without being re-written, and re-staged for all releases) the autodl feature is turned off by default, and the entry is disabled in the advanced tab of the Control Panel.
Program Compatibility Assistant Dialog in Vista: Upon exit of Java Control Panel, you might see a Program Compatibility Assistant dialog box displayed by Windows Vista. We recommend choosing This control panel works correctly so that the dialog does not appear again next time you exit Java Control Panel.

Choosing Open the control panel using recommended settings causes Java Control Panel to work incorrectly. To undo the setting, you will need to remove the following registry entry that contains javacpl.cpl or jpicpl32.cpl:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatiblity Assistant\Persisted
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

So i have enabled JRES but my questions is: Where might i find the registry entries.In the past with XP i easily removed parts of the registry but i am having trouble getting there with Vista? Thanks in advance and other comments regarding Vista and Java working together would be very much appreciated!

I am not sure I understand your question, but you access the registry the same in Vista as in XP.

These registry entries are in the Vista Hive:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatiblity Assistant\Persisted
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

Start|Run|Regedit
