Thanks, but that's the wrong problem -- an old one... and I had done what
you suggested ages ago.

This is new.

Before the WinXP SP-2 "fix" I could click on JavaScript links in the
Cingular.com website and listen to ringtones (and a variety of other
stuff -- all JavaScript links), and it all worked. Since SP-2 I started
getting the message about the Java VirtualMachine not being able to find the
main class, and the JavaScript links in this particular site stopped working
for me. I also began getting clicking sounds that I used to associate with
cursor movements when RAM memory was full (earlier versions of Windows).
And from what I see in the NG's and some forums, others are beginning to
experience the same problems -- all after installing the SP-2 for WinXP.
Incidentally, the SP-2 install effectively makes your WinXP disc useless.

Oddly, I can click on JavaScript links in the BankOne site to view
individual cancelled checks. Those particular JS's work, but all the ones
on the Cingular site do not (yes, I talked with them about it, and they
tested them and found no problem -- but then they're not using WinXP and IE6
to view them).
