Aha! There are no release notes on the Cisco SDM CD but it does have a
"JRE" subdirectory which contains a file named
jre-1_5_0_06-windows-i586-p.exe

So it looks like you are right and I must ensure SDM is run under JRE
1.5.0_06.

My desktop PC has various JRE's including 1.5.0_06 but both my web
browsers are using the latest JVM I've installed.

Options?

- uninstall more recent versions of Java & reinstall 1.5.0_06 browser
plugins. Ugh!

- use JWS? when installed on a PC, SDM is started from a nasty tangle of
html, shtml and other files that make a lot of use of Javascript,
rewriting URLs etc. The classes are bundeled up in .sqz files and there
is a special class that I guess loads the app from these. AIUI JWS is
mostly for apps not applets and runs applets via a AppletViewer that has
some limitations. I think my chances of success are low and it would
be a long hard struggle. Ugh!

- find a way to change the JRE version used by the browser. I've googled
but not found any clues how I might do this.

I think I'll give in, I'll use the laptop PC that has the right version
of JRE and be careful not to update Java on that PC!

Thanks to all for the help.
