If you're using Java2 (1.2 or 1.3), check your lib\ext directory or the
same directories under jre in your JDK home directory.  Some versions of
the JDK come with older versions of Xerces or other XML parsers
installed as an extension.  Look at the names of the .jar files in the
ext directory and change to a different extension any that are
xerces.jar or xml4j.jar or any that have Xerces classes in them.
