Java Applet issues with XP SP2

[Guest]

Hi,

I am running two computers (1 x XP Home & 1 x XP Pro) and ever since I
started running/updating SP2 Java Applets are not running on the websites I
am viewing. I am running jre 1.4.2 and the problem never occured under SP1,
but I can't work out why it is happening under SP2 - I have looked through
all of the setting both in IE and the JRE panels. Although the applets don't
work I don't get the little red "x" that usually appears - all i get is a
grey box where the applet usually is. Can somebody please help me as this is
extremely frustrating.

thanks

Hi,
If not being blocked by IE (Internet Options> Security) is a third-party
program blocking Java applets, scripts, scripting, etc?

Check the configuration of security, antivirus, ad-blocking programs,
toolbars, etc.

Have you uninstalled/reinstalled JRE?

Hi,

Nope not being blocked by anything in IE nor is it being blocked by any
firewall that i am using nor is it being blocked by any antivirus program
etc. which is why it is totally baffling me as to what the problem is.

Somebody please help me
