Since I had to reinstall XP and IE6 I lost in IE tools the settings of VM.
It seems so as VM was not installed. I need VM for a lot of application.
How can I find or reinstall VM.
Thanks for help

The Jave VM was not included with XP and it is no longer offered as a
download on the MS sites. You can search the internet for a download
however be aware that support for security patches and further
development are not going to happen. This situation is due to some legal
proceeding between Sun and MS.

It may be time to consider switching to the plugin that's available from
Sun: www.sun.com or from the page that offers their plugin only:
www.java.com

Sun sued MSoft, and the ruling in the case prohibits MS from making
'their' engine available as a download

You can still get a 3805 or 3809 build from some sites that are *not*
MSoft sites - and MSoft is not going to object.
eg 3805 from Http://www.bigblackglasses.com/staff/downloads/msjavx86.exe

Once you have such an older version you can get the 816093 'critical
security update' which is effectively a complete build, 3810
 
From my tests in this area it appears that you can only install the 3805 or
3809 VM build as an UPGRADE i.e. if you already have the MS VM installed.
Thus, if you are installing afresh you will have to use the Sun Java Plug-in
1.4.2 01 for Internet Explorer.

The ones from the sites I referred to are full versions that will
install with no Java present, copied over before the MS site started
only providing ones that would only install as upgrade. THese are in a
sense bootleg ones - but it was always free software, and in the
circumstances I don't think Microsoft is going to mind
