hi there,
Recently I installed the JSDK 1.4 runtime environment on my system. Since that time I couldn't load any applets anymore in my Internet Explorer browser 6.0. Does anyone know a way to get around this or how to disable/enable the JVM for a while
Thnx

Which OS are you using?

I was having a similar problem ....
I could not display in Netscape 4.7 (which I test in to ensure backward compatibility)
I could not dispplay in IE 6.0 either.
I was using standard <applet></applet> tags
I removed the jdk1.4 that I had installed and recompiled using 1.3
now my simple applets are displaying fine.
Another thread (back in June) in here had been exploring the issues ...https://coderanch.com/t/254541/Applets/java/Game-Tutorials-Exploring-Browser-Support
looks like lots of fancy tags and scripts to detect browser type will be req'd going forward ???

terrible problem!

My OS is Microsoft XP. I unchecked the option Microsoft VM java console enabled in my advanced internet options. Now the applets are working fine.

I have no problem displaying simple applets in Netscape 4.7 or Internet Explorer 5.5 with jdk1.4 installed in Win2K.

Uncheck the JVM in Internet Explorer / Tools/ Advanced and download and install the last JVM(jdk 1.4.1 b21) from Sun and in the Java Plug -in Control Panel /Browser check the boxes for IE or/and Netscape....

I am also having a problem viewing applets. I have JDK 1.4.1_01, the plug-in installed, the old microsoft Jave unchecked in the advance tab in IE, W98 and IE 6.0. My Applet viewer shows the applet working. Why can I not get this simple appplet to work?
thanks in advance,
Andrew
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25);
}
}
