Mark,

I seem to remember, when I got a new XP PRo system to install on my desktop,
that per court order, Microsoft had to discontinue production/distribution
of their VM.  Plus, newer revisions to I.E. had to not use the old microsoft
virtual machine stuff.  You now have to load/use the Sun Java stuff...  Most
computers coming from suppliers/OEM's pre-load the new java stuff from Sun
to alleviate customer heartaches...

All due to court proceedings, if I remember correctly, not by choice of
Master Gates..

Go to sun site and get their java stuff.  It should work just a well,
although not nearly as transparently...
