Some Fixes For Viewing
Applets
Are you able to see the applet above
working?
Chances are, if you have Windows 98 (1st or 2nd Edition),
Windows 2000, Millenium, or Windows XP (SP1) Operating
Systems you may be having some
problems that we can fix with the following steps
:
Some fixes are available for both your
Internet Explorer 7, 8, or 9 & and for
Outlook Express (5.0, 5.5 or 6.0) in either this help page or one of the
others that I have made available.
The changes that need to be made depend greatly on
which version of Windows you are using affecting
your Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and Windows Mail
program's security settings.
Most of the fixes, I have found, apply to most
all of the different versions of Windows.
First of all, whether you are using Outlook Express
6.0 or an earlier version for viewing applets
in a stationery, there is a problem with the default security settings
that you will need to correct to be able to view applets. You
can find the security tab by clicking on tools/options/and then the security tab.
Make the changes indicated in the example below,
change to Internet zone (less secure, but more
functional)
and uncheck the box that says Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a
virus.
* (Don't worry about making this change, as your virus
scanner will protect you from harm from this.) *
Be sure to click Apply/OK to save your change . .
.
Now for some other fixes....
Next, let's examine some security fixes for Internet
Explorer.
With so many different operating systems out there,
it gets complicated and lengthy explaining how to fix
each one. Many of the fixes are duplicates and can be handled
together.
Sometimes it is a matter of a simple fix that is
needed
to restore applet viewing to the earlier Windows
programs, and at other times, an installation or
re-installation of Microsoft Java Virtual
Machine is required to be able to view
them properly.
I'd like to take this restoration
process one step at a time, and then keep checking to see what
works for you to correct the error for your operating system with the
updates that you have installed. Each situation is different, and
you may not know just what you need . . . until you try
them.
First of all, let's check the security settings.
That is the most common problem I have seen
so far. Go to My Computer/Control Panel/Internet Options and click
on the Security Tab. If your default security
setting is already set to medium, you can skip this
first part and go on to the second setting . . .
If your settings are on Medium/High or High, you
will need to change the default security setting to medium.
Once you have made the requred change, be sure to click on Apply/OK to save them and restart your computer as shown in the
example above.
You now need to open this area again.
Click on My Computer/Control Panel/Internet
Options/
and under the Security Tab again, click on Custom
Level at the bottom on right-hand side.
Once again, be sure that you have clicked on
Apply/OK in both
boxes to save your changes. If the
above changes still don't allow you to see applets, try repeating the
process, reboot your computer again and look again....
If you still can't see the applets, you may need to
install a java program file from the links below:
.
Whether you are running
Windows 98 (1st or 2nd Editition), Windows 2000, ,
Millenium, or Windows
XP (SP1), you may need download and re-install
Microsoft Java VM back into your operating system to restore
files.
***************** Microsoft Release
******************
The Microsoft Java Virtual Machine reached the
end of its life as of June 30, 2009. Customers are encouraged to take
proactive measures to stay informed about obsolete software and move
away from the MSJVM in a timely fashion. The MSJVM is no longer
available for distribution from Microsoft and there will be no
enhancements to the MSJVM. Microsoft products and SKUs currently
including the MSJVM have been retired or replaced by versions not
containing the MSJVM.
Obsolete software, whether in the form of unsupported
products, old service packs, or even expired certificates, is an issue
every customer needs to be concerned with. Microsoft software life cycle
communications help customers identify obsolete software in a proactive
and ongoing fashion.
**************************************************
Due to the settlement of this lawsuit between Microsoft and Sun
Java, you can no longer download the files that you need for the Java
Virtual Machine from Microsoft. I have, however, made this
file available from my website for download for quite some time in
the past. And, since it is a required program for
us to our bei able to view our applets as usual, I will continue to
offer it until I am ordered to stop. . .or it is no longer useful to
us.
Instructions for Restoring Microsoft Java
Virtual Machine Sometimes Microsoft VM crashes. Under such
conditions you cannot reinstall it. So you need uninstall and re-install
to restore.
