I'm just frustrated. Nothing seems to work. I'm afraid to change regedit keys on the fly. I have exported but I have never imported the reg edit file. What do you do, juct click on it to restore?
yup ... well double click.... and answer the question about whether you are sure you want to merge this into the registry. Try it with something very easy like a key which stores your last search.
Here's an update:
HI,
So here’s where we are:
1) can install jre 1.4.1_03 in same directory as before but the plug-in still sees two versions:
a. c:\program files\javasoft\jre1.4\1.4.1\bin\javaw.exe
b. c:\program files\javasoft\jre1.4\bin\javaw.exe
the first one exists but the second one does not. I can remove the first one but the icon still stays in the control panel but doesn’t work
2) both IE and Firefox see the 1.4.1_03 as long as Norton is disabled. If Norton Security 2004 is enabled then IE will not verify but Firefox will
3) When I update java to 1.5.0_05 it will update IE (If Norton is disabled) but can not be verified in Firefox
4) Under the java control panel under advance tag support for mozila and netscape doesn’t work. It says to check installation of bowser or I (an admin) don’t have permission. Firefox use to work fine but now I can just get 1.4.1_03
I would really like to completely erase java from the system and start again. I have made a copy of regedit but I’m afraid to just blindly delete regedit keys. Do you have some program that will clean the registry of java? Can you advise on how to remove? Is the Norton conflict a known bug? Please I’m desperate.

This is not a java problem - this is a norton problem!
Have you updated norton?
