The symptoms of this problem all point to 'unmsvm.exe' being run..
- cannot run <applets>
- can run <object>/<embed>
- Win/IE combo.

I can think of no other problem that would produce those results.

The 'fix' is simple, find, download and install the 3805, 3809 and
3810 builds of the MSVM - that should fix IE's ability to use the
<applet> element.
