I have the following versions of Java listed in my Add/Remove Programs:

Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_06

Can I safely remove 04 and 05?

THANKS!

You can, unless you have applications that specifically run only on a
specific version - hence I have applications, 1 will only run on 1.3.1-1,
another on 1.3.1-11, and another on 1.4.1-3, and for everything else, I've
installed 1.5 - it is a real pain when using one of the apps, and none of
the 3 can be used simultaneously. It is a shame Sun won their lawsuit
against MS, as it seems Sun can't make their new version of Java compatible
with older versions - at least with the now defunct MSJVM, the new versions
would allow old software requiring older versions of MSJVM to work properly.
