If you uninstall any version of the JRE, the registry keys that Opera needs to find Java are deleted. Thus, installing 1.4.2 and then uninstalling 1.4.1.3 would leave any version of Opera not able to use the JRE.

If that is what happened, IIRC you should uninstall JRE 1.4.2 and then reinstall it.

Others have said that 1.4.2 is case sensitive, so it might help to open the 6.06 Opera.policy file in a text editor, scroll to the end,
and replace the last part of the path to the Opera.jar file which has:
classes/opera.jar with Classes/Opera.jar

Joe:

Thanks for help, well, I have exactly the same situation than Dario, so maybe to have two opera's version affected to 6.06, but when java 1.4.4.3
both versions worked so well, by the way...I didn't explain so right my case like Dario did, so maybe some guidance?
