ie5 won't fix that, only way would be a recovery of the OS
either that or just download IE6 and do a repair function by running the setup program for it

one thing though...
by default windows xp doesn't support java, you need a plugin, so the user control panel, etc, won't require java.
But try this either way...

Java and Javascript are two seperate entities. IE6 supports JavaScript and additional Java with Microsoft VM installed.
