I'm not a java user or programmer, but it seems an ActiveX control in C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files is looking for a registerred Java class / object
Could be Spyware / malware
What version of IE? (IE4 needs 4 in that folder)
What Browsers do you use?

thanks for saying it's IE6, which "needs" nothing in the DPF folder, to operate correctly..
Assuming it's not a Spyware / Virus issue, i'd say check all the java VM versions.
If you type JVIEW
from an MS-DOS prompt box.....you'll see the Java VM version (MS or SUN - and the various switches available)...you may need to rip one out - or alter the settings. I think we have a JAVA / Programmers forum here that may be of more help.
In the meantime;
SpyBot, Adaware and CWShredder
see
Faq760-4866
and Faq760-3862 for online scanners
