Hi Sideley - From the Control Panel, open Add or Remove Programs and then
see if one or more Java (TM) SE Runtime environment(s) is listed (in some
version or versions). If so, uninstall ALL versions listed. Now set your
system up for a 'Clean Boot' and reboot to that state. Following is from my
Blog, Defending Your Machine, addy below in my Signature:
#########IMPORTANT#########
Show hidden files and run all of the following removal tools from Safe mode
or preferably a "Clean Boot" when possible (which will let you use the
Windows Installer, access the Internet safely, etc., while still avoiding
interfering programs or malware), logged on as an Administrator. BEFORE
running these tools, be sure to clear all Temp files and your Temporary
Internet Files (TIF) (including offline content.) Reboot and test if the
malware is fixed after using each tool.

Clean Boot - General Win2k/XP procedure, but see below for links for other
OS's (The procedure does differ by OS, so be sure to check for yours. The
following is for XP or Win2k w/msconfig - you can obtain msconfig for Win2k
here:
http://www.3feetunder.com/files/win2K_msconfig_setup.exe ):
1. StartRun enter msconfig.
2. On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then clear the 'Process
System.ini File', 'Process Win.ini File', and 'Load Startup Items' check
boxes. Leave the 'boot.ini' boxes however they are currently set.
3. In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox,
and then click the "Disable All" button. If you use a third party firewall
then re-check (enable) it. For example, if you use Zone Alarm, re-check the
True Vector Internet Monitor service (and you may also want to re-check
(enable) the zlclient on the Startup tab.) Equivalent services exist for
other third party firewalls. An alternative to this for XP users is to
enable at this time the XP native firewall (Internet Connection Firewall -
ICF). Be sure to turn it back off when you re-enable your non-MS services
and Startup tab programs and restore your normal msconfig configuration
after cleaning your machine.
4. Click OK and then reboot.

(BTW, it's not pertinent to the 'Clean Boot' operation, but FYI you can add
a very useful 'Tools' tab to msconfig if you wish. See here:

#########IMPORTANT#########
Now go to this page,
https://sdlc3d.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=EEE68F54C8676C219D22205B5318E516,
accept the agreement, and then check and download 'Windows Platform -
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6' for offline installation. Remain in
'Clean Boot' and do the install of JRE 6.0 after the download finishes. Now
reset msconfig to 'normal operation' (just reverese what you did to set up
'Clean Boot'), reboot and then check in the IE6 Browser Tools|Internet
Options|Advanced for the Java(Sun) entry and try the Java tests again (note
that not all sites may be available.) If things are OK, then open the the
Java applet in the Control Panel and set up your options (such as checking
for updates, whether you want an icon in the Notification Area [the Tray],
etc.)
Please post back with your results or if you encounter difficulties.

| Thanks Jim,
|
| All those sites detect no JVM and the JVM never activated when
| browsing with IE6 in those site, though The Sun's JVM is actually
| installed (it is present on the list of installed software). I have
| no problem running Java applets on your sites when I use Firefox.
|
| In fact, I'm used to using Firefox until I have to use IE6 to take a
| timed online test. The test software was succesfully tested on IE6
| with either a Sun's or MS JVM. But it doesn't work with the IE6
| environment of my computer.
|
| Do you think that it is normal that in the Tools->Internet
| Options->Advanced thumbnail of my IE6 installation, I have no item
| related to Java ?
