Applet keeps crashing

I'm running Windows XP SP2 with JRE 1.5 on a DSL connection and the java applet keeps crashing on me.
After it crashes, it writes a log to my desktop in text format and it's generally titled something like hs_err_pid412.log.
Here's a few things I'd like to add:
SP2 is NOT the issue - when I used my old Windows XP cd (fully patched to SP2), it had the Microsoft VM and the applet was as stable as a rock! Never crashed on me at all.
I have tried BOTH JRE 1.4.2 and 1.5 - both do the same thing. The only thing that's ever been stable for me at GC is the Microsoft VM but unfortunately, they don't make that anymore. Any ideas anyone? I'd really like to get a fix or workaround for this, I love playing chess here and get so discouraged by the constant crashes.
Let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks in advance.

Hi Oblivion,
With this type of problem, it's usually suggested that you contact GC direct rather than go through the 'notice boards'.
I've read about quite a few 'problems' with JRE 1.5. That might be one thing to investigate. Another is the SP2 firewall. However, there are so many possibilities that I guess you really need to send the log to an expert.
Anyway, I wish you every success in getting this speedily resolved.
yeah man...

Yo Jubei, try this.. http://www.gamecolony.com/msjava.shtml
Installs the MS VM and is much better than the JRE as far as GameColony goes. Works great now.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
