Napho: Thanks for the advice.

However, a strong word of CAUTION:

If you go to Internet Options - Advanced and check the JIT Compiler option which is the only one close enough to making MS's VM the default for IE, it could be hell on earth system wide.

In my case, after the mandatory reboot Windows would not start four times in a row. I went twice to safe mode, and after finally booting to Win, IExplore would not load, creating a system lock, and generating an error log showing almost any file of the MS's VM as part of the problem.

I used GoBack to set the system 15 secs previous to the change, and as always GB saved my life again.

All quiet in the western front, now.

I don't know what was the problem, and I'm not planning to tackle it in the near future.

I was trying to better a "perceived" slowdown in the surfing of Napsterites, with a strong emphasis in "perceived".

Bad idea.

Had I not had GoBack it would have been a loooonng day ahead of me.

So if anyone have both VM installed be verrry, veeeerrrrry careful how you go about making changes.

Somehow I'm left with the impression that we, the users, are the pawns (again) in the java war between MS & Sun.
