No Java Applets after installing SP2

[Guest]

Hi

After installing Window XP SP2 Java Applets won't run in Internet Explorer.
Both Sun Java VM 1.4.2_05 and Microsoft VM 5.0.0.3810 are installed, but
neither of them will run applets. It worked perfectly before installing SP2.

I have reinstalled Sun Java VM, but it did not solve the problem.
It doesn't seem to be the Java VM, though, as it will run applets in Firefox.

Also, I have scanned for and removed spyware, but nothing seems to help.

Do you have any suggestions?

There IS a JVM on the machine, and it works in other browsers.

How does Windows Scripts affect Java Applets? JavaScript is running perfectly.

This problem is on the web - not just in local files. And activ content
isn't the issue here. Just to be sure, I've already lowered the security
level for the test site.

Hi ZapZyaq

Thank you!

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the Sun and MS JVM's?
That has worked for a few people. The problems created by SP2 with Java
related sites in all areas is a very big problem, and hard to narrow down to
a one-cure-fits all, as you can see by the number of these various problems
and answers posted here.

Often it is related to something as simple as an adjustment in the Firewall,
or the AV, or such as SpywareBlaster, even SP2's popup blocker. Thus, we
start with the basics and work from there.

Check the information here and see if there is something you have missed.
If it is effeting both https and http sites, it may be a parasite or other
malware that your AV and Spybot do not have the definitions to detect.
HiJackThis is a very important tool, and I suggest that you run it and have
it analyzed at the locations indicated.

Although you may have already run one or more of the programs, please do so
again according to the instructions below. Some variants of malware can
replicate themselves over and over if not removed properly. Please follow
all instructions carefully to be sure your system is thoroughly cleaned:

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the About:Buster here
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4289.html
http://www.atribune.org/downloads/AboutBuster.zip
AdAware se (Free)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
the newest version of CWShredder (2.0) here:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3019.html
and the HijackThis. Please do not post your log to this
newsgroup, but to the SpywareInfo or the Aumha HiJackThis forums
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to
evaluate your log and advise you of the necessary steps to clean your
system.

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Also, get a copy of WinsockFix Utility
http://www.dfwonline.net/files/WinsockFix.zip
or
WinsockXPFix available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at
http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm
also
From LavaSoft- all versions of Windows-
http://digital-solutions.co.uk/lavasoft/whndnfix.zip
also ....
(NOTE: It is reported that in XP SP2, the command netsh winsock reset
will fix this problem without the need for these programs.)

Download Sysclean.com, from Trend Micro, here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp along with the latest pattern
file, here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Be sure to read the "How-to" info here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/tsc/readme.txt
You might also want to get Art's updater, SYS-UP.Zip, here for future
updating of these: http://home.epix.net/~artnpeg/.
(If you download and use the updater from the beginning, it will
automatically handle downloading the other files. Place them in a dedicated
folder after appropriate unzipping, and then run. This scan may take a long
time, as Sysclean is VERY extensive and thorough

and......

NOTE: If you can not download these programs from the Internet, if your PC
has CD read capabilities, go to another computer with CD-ROM burning
capabilities. Create a folder on the hard drive of the other computer called
HOLD, download the programs to that folder, then burn that folder to a CD.
Copy the HOLD folder to your HD and then install the programs from there
and run them. After you have IE access again, update all programs where
possible to get the latest definitions and run them again in Safe Mode to be
sure there are no lingering items on the system.


If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
