I started getting this error a couple of days ago when I installed Open Office. Problem is that it happens with any java applications, not just Open Office. I have tried removing Java completely and then re-installing but so far have had no luck. I have tried JRE 6u19 and JRE 6u20 both with the same result.

I ran RegSeeker to see if cleaning the registry would make a difference but it did not.

I am running Windows XP.

Is there a way to get more information on this problem or any known solutions?

Thanks,
