IMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.

256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
When you view the Advanced tab in Internet Options, the following Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) options are missing:

Microsoft VM

 * Java console enabled (requires restart)
 * Java logging enabled
 * JIT compiler for virtual machine (requires restart)

Also, the following Java Permissions may be missing from the Custom security options list:

Java Permissions

 * Custom
 * Disable Java
 * High safety
 * Low safety
 * Medium safety



CAUSE
This issue can occur if these options have been removed when you uninstalled Internet Explorer 5.5 and Internet Tools Beta.

NOTE: If you install the non-Beta version of Internet Explorer 5.5 and Internet Tools, it does not replace the missing options.



RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, you must create two registry (.reg) files to add the required entries to your Windows 2000 registry:

NOTE: Step one creates a file to restore the options to the Advanced tab, step two creates a file to restore the missing Java Permissions to the Security tab, and step 3 merges these files into the registry.  Use a text editor (such as Microsoft Notepad) to create the Vmui.reg file:

  Copy the following text into a text editor: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM] &quot;Text&quot;=&quot;Java VM&quot; &quot;Type&quot;=&quot;group&quot; &quot;Bitmap&quot;=&quot;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\inetcpl.cpl,4441&quot; &quot;HelpID&quot;=&quot;iexplore.hlp#50041&quot;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM\LOGGING] &quot;RegPath&quot;=&quot;Software\\Microsoft\\Java VM&quot; &quot;Text&quot;=&quot;Java logging enabled&quot; &quot;Type&quot;=&quot;checkbox&quot; &quot;CheckedValue&quot;=hex:01,00,00,00 &quot;UncheckedValue&quot;=hex:00,00,00,00 &quot;ValueName&quot;=&quot;EnableLogging&quot; &quot;DefaultValue&quot;=hex:00,00,00,00 &quot;HKeyRoot&quot;=dword:80000001 &quot;HelpID&quot;=&quot;iexplore.hlp#50109&quot;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM\JIT] &quot;RegPath&quot;=&quot;Software\\Microsoft\\Java VM&quot; &quot;Text&quot;=&quot;Java JIT compiler enabled&quot; &quot;Type&quot;=&quot;checkbox&quot; &quot;CheckedValue&quot;=hex:01,00,00,00 &quot;UncheckedValue&quot;=hex:00,00,00,00 &quot;ValueName&quot;=&quot;EnableJIT&quot; &quot;DefaultValue&quot;=hex:01,00,00,00 &quot;HKeyRoot&quot;=dword:80000001 &quot;HelpID&quot;=&quot;iexplore.hlp#50110&quot;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM\CONSOLE] &quot;RegPath&quot;=&quot;Software\\Microsoft\\Java VM&quot; &quot;Text&quot;=&quot;Java console enabled (requires restart)&quot; &quot;Type&quot;=&quot;checkbox&quot; &quot;CheckedValue&quot;=dword:00000001 &quot;UncheckedValue&quot;=dword:00000000 &quot;ValueName&quot;=&quot;EnableJavaConsole&quot; &quot;DefaultValue&quot;=dword:00000000 &quot;HKeyRoot&quot;=dword:80000001 &quot;HelpID&quot;=&quot;iexplore.hlp#50301&quot;  Locate the following line, and then change the path to the Windows 2000 installation folder:

&quot;Bitmap&quot;=&quot;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\inetcpl.cpl,4441&quot;

For example, if Windows 2000 is installed on drive D in the WINNT folder, the line should appear as:

&quot;Bitmap&quot;=&quot;D:\\WINNT\\SYSTEM\\inetcpl.cpl,4441&quot;

 Save the file to the desktop as Vmui.reg. </li> Use a text editor to create the Jpui.reg file:
