OK. Thanks Holly. But if I'm going to set the VM to be the jdk, then why install the jre? I guess I have no clue about the difference between the jre and the jdk or why both are needed or what each one does. I can say that installing the jdk broke one aspect of the sun jre.

The problem is, for me and as far as I know, the Sun jre doesn't have browser support in the 64-bit arena so that's been an issue for me here.
