MS has stopped making it's VM available for XP users as of July 10, 2002 due to squabble w/ Sun. Is there another VM that can do the same job and work well with XP? I can't get an encrypted e-mail address w/o a functional VM. Help appreciated.

The above answer would probably work, but the following is quoted from the MS FAQ about VM on Windows XP:

Should I use Sun's Java virtual machine?
Microsoft is not licensed to distribute Sun's Java virtual machine and has not tested it for error-free operation with Microsoft products.

The MS Virtual Machine will be included in the XP Service Pack which is being released next week.

Good luck,
Mike
