In at least one place the doc/web says that the Jmol app requires Java 1.4
or higher.

The truth is, it may say other things someplace else.

And, this may not even be the problem. I haven't looked at the compiler
switches recently.

Let's start off by getting our Java upgraded to 1.4.2
  http://java.sun.com

I didn't think that any Sun Java was included in Win2K ... but I don't know.

You are absolutely right.
We should do a better job of supporting the Win32 platforms.
And I would include 95/98/Me

I understand and generally agree with you.

In the year that I have been working on the project, you are the first
person I remember asking for help on Windows.

The jmol app is targeted at academia. I run it on WinMe, but under the
cygwin unix-like environment. I think there are others who do the same.

The jmol applet is targeted at broad deployment. So I have worked hard to
try to ensure that it runs on many JVMs.

Start upgrading your Java ... I'll start working on it from this end.
