Unhappy My Java is corrupted!

My friend has dial-up with AOL and he likes to play their Domino game. But now when he clicks on it he gets an error message: Your Java is corrupted, or something like that. What can he do to uncorrupt it so he can play?

I tried downloading Netscape Navigator because that's the browser AOL uses. That didn't help.
Will he have to remove the whole AOL program and reinstall it?

Thanks for your help.

All Java code is passed throught the Java Virtual Machine to run - sounds like that is corrupted. Hopefully you should be able to reinstall the Java Virtual Machine but I have never used AOL so I'm not sure if you can.

No - AOL's browser is still IE - they own Netscape but it's not the browser in the AOL software.

Thanks for your help everybody! I downloaded the Microsoft Virtual Machine and it corrected the problem! Now he can play Dominoes again!
I WAS wrong...IE IS the browser AOL uses! I removed Navigator from my friend's PC. He doesn't really need it since he's using IE. I find it interesting that AOL owns Netscape but is using IE for their default browser...
