OT: Amuyone else fix the current Java errors in XP?

[smlunatick]

On my XP pro, I can not ever get the latest Java to work. It keeps
comin up with the following:

Several Java Virtual Machines running in the same process
or
Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded

I have found and tried to follow Sun's recommended "work arounds" but
I have no success.

Sun does not seem to take this seriously since they have not posted a
true fix or update yet.


Can someone suggest a better solution or a link to the older Java
versions?

Just to complete this thread. I have been reading over the Interent
and this is a common problem. If the "recommended" work arounds that
Sun / Java provided do not work, you need to somehow reset Interent
Explorer as your default browser. I loaded FireFox and made it the
default browser. Then, I restarted IE 7 and it asked me to make it
default browser. Java is now working.

Looks like many different solutions, some work some don't.
