Logo not displayed in MS JVM to Sun JRE conversion

Question

Hi,
We have a small MS JVM version of application which we converted to Sun JRE. It has only one applet (we made it to <Object>). Applet code tries to load a logo using following code
URL url = getMainApplet().getCodeBase();
String protocol = url.getProtocol();
String host = url.getHost();
String file = url.getFile();
file = file.concat("images\\weblogo.gif");
URL imageURL = new URL(protocol,host,file);
Image weblogoImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
imagePanel = new ImagePanel(weblogoImage);
//imagePanel.setBounds(7,2,101,47);
imagePanel.setBounds(4,1,101,47);
add(imagePanel);
Some how it works fine with MS JVM but when we use sun jre..logo doent come..no error shown on console...
Any one has any idea...
thanks in advance..
Anand

I also have same problem with my WinXP-SP1 and I also had removed MSJVM through the Microsoft utility. Since then I am having problems using Java based sites. To solve this problem I upgraded my JRE from 1.4.1_xx to 1.4.2_04, now the problem is completly different. I am prompted to download Java Virtual Machine which opens a page from Microsoft web site saying that you need MSJVM but then that site works fine, I can use Java applets in that site. If I refuse to download the Java Virtual Machine (which just opens the Microsoft page) then it does not work. Only problem is I am prompted to download Java Virtual Machine and I have to click on Download button.
I have done everything to solve this problem unistalled JRE..restart..installing JRE...restart..and then checked http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp but problem is still same.
I am highly frusteated with this. I think there are thousands of users who have same problem and Sun should have taken some initiative to solve this problem for Microsoft is not going to do anything in this regard. I seach Google and various forums and found tens of same problem with unresolved queries. Or Sun has taken any initiative in this regard.
JRE is working fine in my Firefox browser.
Thanks
