Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi,

I am using IE6.0 and WinXP and I am trying to load a simple applet. However, when I try to run it in Internet Explorer, the applet does not load, and I get a class not found exception for the initial launch class when I roll over the grey rectangle where the applet should be loaded. I have the 1.4.2 JRE installed (which is what the applet was developed under), and Internet Explorer is checked to use it in the advanced options. No java console is launching, even though I also have this option checked.

The thing is that I thought that it might be a problem with the code, but I have just tried running it in Netscape 7.1 and it runs perfectly, with no errors in the console. This is exactly the same html page that I am running each time.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this error in Internet Explorer?

Thanks,

Louise
