thanks for your help. you have cleared up a number of things for me. first of all, i uninstalled the plug-in from my c: i then re-installed it to my d: partition (where i have all my java, sdk, tomcat, etc.) and more specifically into my sdk (D:\SDK\jre). the plug in works fine now and my jsp pages are running fine. the install of the java plug in for ie 6 was sent right to my c: and i was not able to install it into the necessary directory (D:\SDK\jre) as you have helped me figure out.
