Java 1.4.1 doesn't work right with Win98se and IE6SP1
843811Oct 1 2002 — edited Oct 14 2002I have installed the 1.4.1 runtime on two computers. On the WinXP one (with IE 6 SP1) everything works 100%. When applets are loading the Java icon is showing in the placeholder, and in the system tray. I can open the console from IE, and all applets work (also the "hot java" on download page that does not work with the Microsoft buildt in Java :-)
BUT, on the Win98se machine not everything is working. First there is no Java icon either in the applet windows nor in the system tray on most applets (like my homepage http://home.chello.no/~larse/ or my worsk page http://datafangst.ergogroup.no), I cannot open the Java console from Internet Explorer either. So I suspect it's still using the Microsoft Java. BUT even stranger, the "hot java" animation on the Sun download pages IS showing, and THEN the Java icon shows in the tray. Why is it only using the Sun Java for some applets - not all ?
