Java Plug-In 1.4.1 Crashes in Win2000 IE6.0.2600

Hallo
Please can somebody help with information on why the Java Plug-in ver 1.4.1 just crashes when I try to run an applet under windows 2000 Professional using IE6.0.2600. Also I cannot run the Java Console nor the Java Plug-in Control panel, all of which crash or do nothing. The console shows signs of wanting to run by displaying its window by it never completes this process and then it crashes, killing the browser in the process. When it does this, it resets the Internet Option "Java Console ENabled" in IE Internet Options>Advanced>Microsoft VM.

Why cant I run the Java Console, the Java Plugin Control Panel or any applet no matter how simple.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

At least I have somebody to cry with. If you do hear of a solution please advise because I am in dire straits. I did hwowever report this as a bug to Sun and I am expecting a response in the next week or 2. The strangest thing about mine is that even in Netscape crashes and it does this on a particular machine. The applets run fine on all other machines in my company except this one.

When I monitored resource usage on this machine when it loads any web page with a Java 2 Applet, the memory was running down from about 45 Mbytes free, to amost 2Kbytes before the system killed the browser. I think there is a proble with the JVM it takes all the resources and kills the browser without telling me what is going on.
