Thanks Carlos.
BTW, I installed the java v6u10 beta version, and I got a different
symptom - a box would come up for the applet, but it would say error
click here; and then it would say that the class was not found;
classnotfoundexceptionerror. It happened on every site I went to.
I am beginning to think IE is so wrapped up in security protection it's
tripping over itself and unable to work properly. This all sounds like
something is not being permitted to run, and I have tried turning all
security, privacy, and advanced features to minimal/off with no effect.
I then reset them with no effect.
I may just watch the updates and do Java work in Firefox. I (and you!)
have spent way too much time on this! Imagine all this just trying to
get a simple "Hello world" applet to run in a browser window! Absurd...
