What test applet? What is the URL?
Here is one from Sun that is commonly used..
<http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml>
(I ask because it is possibly a problem in the applet
itself, or the deployment of the applet.)

Have you rebooted since installation of the new Java?
I doubt it will fix the problem - but it is worth a try.

That is indeed the URL of the test applet that I am using. As noted in
the original message, I rebooted before and after java installation.

Please respond to the Newsgroup, so that others may benefit from the exchange.
