jonthezman: have got a fix for your problem.

You must install the VM upgrade before you can install the JAVA software.

But, and it is a big one, Windows 2000 Pro only allows an upgrade after Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 is installed before hand.

Note for Windows 2000 users only The Microsoft VM in the Windows 2000 operating system can only be updated with a Windows 2000 hotfix or service pack release. A description of the Windows 2000 Windows File Protection (WFP) feature can be found in Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article number Q222193.

WARNING: Please note that once you have installed the updated Microsoft VM it cannot be uninstalled.

Installation prerequisite for Windows 2000 users Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 must be installed prior to installing this hotfix.

Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) is available from the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp2/

Microsoft VM build 3805 for Microsoft Windows 2000 (Hotfix)

Download page for VM update:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/critical/q300845/default.asp


So, Eye think install SP2
Install the VM update
Install the JAVA software, latest version

If this does not solve the problem, get back to me.
