I have 2 computers and I can't get applets to run on either of them. I've spent many hours on trying to get them to work, without success. One is running Windows 2000 (work) and the other Windows XP Professional (home), both with IE 6.0. Let's start with my home machine:
- I've got the SDK loaded and running fine (I can compile and run ordinary Java classes) on C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01
- The Java Plug-in in my Control Panel correctly points to C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01
- In IE Tools (menu) / Options / Advanced, under "Java (Sun)", the box is checked next to "Use Java 2 v1.4.1_01 for <applet> (requires restart)". And, yes, I have restarted (many times!)
- In Control Panel, System Properties / Advanced / Environment Variables under Path, I have C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin; right at the beginning of both lists (one for my personal settings and one for the System variables).
I'm really peeved because I've spent about 10 hours trying to sort this out already. It's supposed to be easy - automatic - right? Any help would be appreciated.
