Subject is "Java not working in IE" by Isa Newbie. There are also quite a
few other similar posts on this newsgroup and on the internet - but I have
yet to find an explanation of the problem of a fix other than format/reload.
=============================================
I have read quite a few posts here and on other sites about folks having
problems running Java in IE.
I currently have that problem on a few machines, and are looking for a
resolve. This seems to be occuring on IE 6, on both XP SP1, XP SP2 and 2000
machines. So far specifically IE 6.0.2800.1106 SP1.
We have MSVM 3810 (yes I understand it is no longer being supported so
please don't tell me that) installed as well as Sun Java 1.5.0_04. We have
uninstalled, and reinstalled, and java is enabled in the browser and in the
control panel. When we try to load various applets, we get messages like
"Java is not enabled" or "Java is not working" - but it is installed and
enabled and applications can run - just not items in the IE browser. Sun
works in other browsers on the machine, just chooses to not work in IE.
I'm starting to dig into anything I can find and are trying anything I can
find to fix the problem. I've checked security settings in IE. I'm trying to
delete items from in the Downloaded Programs Folders (incase they are
corrupted). I am removing applets from in the java control panel, I've tried
re-registering URLMON.DLL and resetting web settings in IE..My next step is
to start checking registry to see if there is something in there - maybe bad
user agent string, or something like that...? I've also disabled 3rd party
BHO's in the advanced tab in IE Options. I've tried cleaning temporary
internet files and deleting the java cache in the control panel. We've tried
running anti-spyware programs and nothing is coming up.
I've started to check recent hotfixes to see if that could be culpret since
the problems started occuring within the past few months.
I'm slowly running out of ideas other than format and reload - and I am much
too interested in finding what the problem is than to give up and reload
especially since this behavior is on multiple machines and not just one. I
know it isn't just my machines since there seems to be a lot of similar
posts on the web.
I've tried coming up with a common denominator for all the machines, but
they are different OS's - all running IE 6 and some have McAffee of some
sort running on them, and yes - I have checked firewalls to make sure java
isnt blocked on the local machine. I have a friend who works at a local
college and is also seeing this problem on a few of her machines.
Any other suggestions greatly appreciated ! I'm sure others have seen this
problem or are having this problem - any input welcomed.

I am able to reproduce the issue (or at least get it close to reproduction)
by unregistering msjava.dll and jvm.dll - but aren't sure what could be
"automatically" unregistering these dll files.... any thoughts ?
