[thelist] OT: Java Virtual Machine problems

[Diane Soini]

I wish I could answer this better, but maybe this'll be enough to help. 
I had the exact same problem with the JVM on my PC at work not too long 
ago. The problem turned out to be that Internet explorer didn't not 
play well with Sun's JVM. What I had to do was go into the Tools to the 
Advanced tab, the one that has a million check boxes. Find one for Java 
Virtual machine and make sure that it is off. Where my answer gets 
shaky, is I seem to recall there were 3 checkboxes in that general 
area, and I can't remember if I had to turn one of the other ones on or 
not. But the gist of it is that the JVM from Sun won't work. Also, it 
seemed that at one point I had checked Mozilla as my default browser 
and it is what set the JVM to on for IE. Because of this stupidity, I 
have had to abandon the idea of having any other browser but IE be my 
default. (I sure hate MS and its bossiness).
