Java applets don't run in MS-IE 6 ?

I have a nice little applet on my web page at:

www.benslade.co m/pictures/2003/jul/alaska/images/Ben's_Alaska_Va cation_Slidesho w.html
(yes, that's an apostrophe in the URL, sorry)

It runs fine everywhere except for MS-IE 6.x browsers. There I just
get a grey screen where the applet is supposed to go. If I enable the
Java console log, I see a "ClassNotFo und" exception coming from
Microsoft's Java VM (no explicit popup error message for this though)

I've noticed this problem on MS-IE 6.x on Windows 98 and XP
environments. I've turned the security down to "low" for Java applets
in these environments, but it doesn't help.

Once I load the Sun java plugin, things work fine.

What's going on here? Has Microsoft disabled java applets?

Microsoft is limited to using version 1.1.6 of the Java VM (per the court
settlement between MS and Sun) in it's OS's and browsers. Your Sun Java
plugin is probably version 1.4.x and contains the classes that your applet
is referring to, so it works fine.

I'd put a link on your page for your users to DL'd and install the Sun
plugin with a note that your applet will not run of MS's old java VM.....

I have a java app at work I used when I had Windows 98 and never had a problem. I did a clean install of Windows XP and of course Java was not included. I went to Sun, download Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v 1.4.2 and Java 2 Runtime Environment SE v 1.4.1_01. The Java app will not work with WinCP. I have installed the Windows XP Service pack 1, IE service pack 1 and I have downloaded Netscape and Opera. The same problem happens in...

It's obvious, that Windows XP has a Java 2 VM (including the SWING-module), because we can all run Java 2 applets in Internet Explorer. But what about the support for Java 2 Applications? I would just like to run an application packed in a JAR-file on Windows XP: JavaProg.jar (Java Archive Resource). But without installing a SDK, i don't have an association of the JAR-file to be started with JAVAW, or the JAVA command to use 'java -jar...

I am an enduser of Java applications and applets and I need to have MS Jview in my setup because it is a company PC. On the other hand, I have come across software that I want to use, that specificially named the Sun Java as a requirement.

After many years of using LISP, I'm taking a class in Java and finding the two roughly comparable in some ways and very different in other ways. Each has a decent size library of useful utilities as a standard portable part of the core language, the LISP package, and the java.lang package, respectively. Both have big integers, although only LISP has rationals as far as I can tell. Because CL supports keyword arguments, it has a wider range...

On one of my web pages there is an java applets which works fine on my computer. However I noticed on some other computer that the run of java applets are disabled. I got an error message "Classnotfound" Is there a way to detect (with cgi resp. javascript) if java applets are allowed? I would like to show a simple picture instead of the applet pane if applets are not allowed. Wladimir

I've been reading some Sun Java articles where they say Applets cannot import dlls and cannot write to disk. (This does NOT apply to applications, only to Applets.) Supposedly, this is NOT something you can cotrol with a security manager or in any other way. The dll exclussion is due to the fact that the virtual machine cannot control what a dll is doing, perhaps writting malicious stuff to disk among other things. Is it true that...

Java programmers seem to always be whining about how confusing and overly complex C++ appears to them. I would like to introduce an explanation for this.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
