  Can anyone suggest how to solve the problem described in the comments
to that bug?

Briefly, the present situation is that I cannot install any version of
the 1.4.2 J2SE SDK on Windows 2000 SP4 (it appeared to work on SP3) so
that the Java plugin and java[w].exe work on a non-administrative
account: the applets don't even show on a WWW page, and the JVM launched
by java[w].exe remains a hidden program (merely present in the task
list). Eclipse 2.1.x is the only program to appear to work, perhaps
because it does not use java[w].exe to launch the JVM; Netbeans
runide.exe uses javaw.exe and so fails.

Maybe Sun requires a more recent DirectX version than 7.0 (which is the
included version on Windows 2K). Why would they make it depend on the
DirectX version, though? Seems like a sure way to break Java.

So, at the moment I'm still running J2SE 1.3.9, but I'd really like to
use 1.4.2; I wish I had something like VirtualPC, so I could easily test
hypotheses by making a separate install system, but I can't.

Any advice?
