OK, I know java isn't the same as javascript, but there isn't a separate forum for java here... so maybe a moderator will move this to "general" or something... that's fine.
Anyway, as of last week sometime, java applets no longer display on or offline. I may have inadvertently deleted some files while doing some semi-routine maintainance, or maybe something else happened. Since no java applets display at all, I'm guessing that 1 or more files are either missing or corrupted.
Before you ask, YES, I have java enabled in the browser and security settings. I'm running Windows 98 and IE 6.0. Java was working just fine until about a week ago.
I downloaded the JRE from sun, hoping it would replace or overwrite any missing or bad files. It didn't work. I tracked down a copy of the microsoft JVM and installed that. Still no luck.
I have posted this question on several other forums without a solution yet. I emailed support at Sun and haven't got a reply yet. Microsoft of course wants money before they give support, and I haven't found an answer in their online help section.
One person said something about editing a registry document but did not explain how to do it. Some geeks think we are all programming experts and assume we all understand all the techie stuff.
Anyway, if anyone could offer me a solution or suggest something to try, I would really appreciate it. I don't want to have to re-install Windows just yet because I have a lot of stuff to backup and no money to buy zip discs to put everything on.
Thanks,
Thomas
