Hey, guys, what all this about? To resolve all problems, basically all u have to do is to tamper with Windows registry (i run Java and used to run J3D under Windows systems only. Don't know where installation information is written under Unix systems). Find all keys containing Java or JRE, see if they have smth to do with J2 environment and change the values! Well, some experience is certainly needed here, but it's really easy. Moreover, to automate the process (for instance, if u want to test your application with different JRE versions) u can create good old bat files - it'd take u a minute, but would safe hours if u do intensive testing. vladimir PS: i posted the bat and reg files around half a year ago here, but if there is still anyone interested to get them, just let me know. >--------<=============>--------< World of Science & Technologies http://www.scientechs.com/ >--------<=============>--------< Wednesday, September 06, 2000, 10:23:39 AM, you wrote: JMS> What's the purpose of having two JRE enviroments on your dev machine?
