Sounds like JV is not installed...or the installed version on your machine is older than the compiled applet.

In the mean time, you might want to check if the applet runs at all. From the command prompt, use the following command

appletviewer MyApplet.html

If the applet runs without any problems...than you might need to configure your browser to run applets etc

hope that helps.

cheers,

thanks tried that but not working. Was wandering if I have to get the latest java off of sun in order for java to work as I have tweaked the browser settings to run java applets. Cheers
