java plug-in fatal error
When I try to open an applet on a site I get the message "Java plug-in fatal error- several Java virtual machines running in the same process caused an error". Checking my add/remove program I see that I have J2SE runtime environment 5.0 updates 7,9,10 and 11. Java 2 runtime environment standard edition version 1.3.1_02, 1.4.1_01, and 1.4.2_03. Also Java runtime environment 6 update 1. I'm running Windows XP service pack 2. Hope someone has a solution to my problem.

This is an existing bug request:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6516270
Providing this information could be handy:
1) Does this occur on all browser(s) which includes Firefox, Mozilla other then Internet Explorer
2) What is the outcome of running testvm applet:
http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
3) Does this error start appearing after updating to 6u01
4) Have you attempted running the applet after deleting Java Plug-in and browser cache
This could be an issue with memory management on the system.
The possible workaround(s) are:
1) Try setting virtual memory as System managed:
Windows xp users start>control panel>System>advanced->Performance(setting)->Advanced->virtualmemory(change)>Click system managed size>set then Ok restart your computer
2) Set JRE parameter less then 3/4 of actual physical memory present in the system.
For example, 512 MB if RAM is 1024 MB.
3) Disable any unwanted/new/confusing add-on in the browser (IE7).
For example, Windows Live Sign-in add-on can restrict Java functioning due to unknown reasons. Disabling same, if installed could be helpful.
