Plug-in 1.4 Fatal Error

Question

I had installed the 1.4 JRE on W2K and later removed it. I had actuall removed all Java from the system and then reinstalled the 1.3.1_04 SDK with it's JRE. Every time I try to start an Applet based application I get a Plug-in 1.4 fatal Error - The Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded from <\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll>.
Does anyone know where this has retained it self on my systems as there should be no 1.4 JRE bits on there - there is no properties under my user\.java directory.

Hi, i did what you wrote, i created the keys in the registry and it worked but that is a detail, i configured the 1.3.1_02 classpath to load some classes, but the windows load 1.3.1_01 and this has no classpath configured. Anyone can help me, please
The fix that I came up with is this:
Go to the registry path - HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java
Plug-in
Take note of the values under whatever version is
loaded, in my case it was 1.3.1_02.
Create a new key under the above-listed registry path
and name it 1.3.1_01 (or what ever version is
indicated to be missing in error msg)
Then create a DWORD value under the 1.3.1_01 key named
UseJava2IExplorer and enter a value of 1.
Then create a string value named JavaHome and enter
the path of your installed Java Plug-in.
In my case and probably yours - problem fixed.
Don't know where the call for this registry key is
coming from tho. ??
