Michael,

It looks like the issue is elsewhere. For lack of a solution (and having
Winmgmt.exe errors after upgrading to SP4 that did not seem to have a
solution), I restored the stubborn machine to a configuration 2K, SP3
but IE5.5; In this configuration, MS Java VM works Ok. I am beginning to
wonder if MS Java got disabled when I upgraded the machine to IE6 with
Windows Update. Do you think this could be the case? Before I try again
and chance risking again precious time on this issue, I would like to
hedge my bets...
