java-programmer, -Xms setting makes IE exit Folks,

My company uses a Java based server application, and Internet Explorer
on our client machines. Recently our server application was upgraded,
and instead of needing Microsoft's JVM on the client machines we are
now using Sun Java version 1.4.2_08.

Performance around applet caching was poor, and the recommended cure
for that was to set "-Xms128m -Xmx256m" in the Java Runtime
Parameters from the Java control panel. On machines that have never had
the Microsoft JVM installed this fixed the problem.

However, on machines that have had the JVM installed, this causes the
browser to exit whenever an applet is started. From doing some research
it seems this problem is usually caused by a conflict between the Sun
and Microsoft Java components. So the JVM was uninstalled using the
process detailed here: -
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/uninstall_msvm.xml#cli
(That is identical to the steps found on Microsoft's knowledgebase)

After a lot of experimentation I have found that setting only the
starting memory setting "-Xms64m" does not cause any problems.
However this is clearly far from ideal and I am looking for a better
solution. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Discovered the cause of this problem, the client machine had a
"classpath" environment variable set. Removing that fixed the issue.
