Grant Permissions Dialog not displaying
We have a signed applet used to launch notepad in NT 4.0 using IE 5.5. On certain machines everything works fine and we get The grant permissions dialog. On a couple of machines, we don't the grant permissions dialogue, the applet does not load and we get no errors in the Java Console. Even with logging turned up to a level 5 in the console, all we get is "Registered/Unregistered modality listener" and nothing else.
We are using java plugin 1.3.1.01.
Any help at all is appreciated with this problem,
- Chris

I've the same problem. after reading about 100 articels in several forums i've found out, that this only works with the plugin 1.3. maybe this can help you. when i tried it out it doesn't work because the explorer ignores the plugin. he only can find the plugin 1.3.1, but may be you've better luck!

I've only have this happen when a machine had an earlier version of the JRE then I required, butYou might check your certificate store in IE (Tools->Int Opts->Content->Certific) against a working machine. Some people have the idea that certificates are a security hole.
If an applet is signed, all permissions are granted to it.Look at this message it wil explain how to get it to work in the JDK 1.3 plugin without buying a verisign cert: http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=63&thread=174214

I encountered the same problem in my test machines. I found multiple versions of JRE in those machines. Then, I uninstalled all JREs from Settings-->Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs.
Then, just restart IE and redownload a JRE. It will definitely work this time!!!
I've had the same problems as those described above. The dialog pops up for me, but all it shows is the Java logo. This happens on ALL 1.3.1+ versions of the plugin on Windows NT,2000, and XP (so far). If I install the 1.4 runtime, it works fine. The problem with that runtime is they screwed up the event handling of keyboard events and focus events.
What really is annoying is the HTML converter automatically redirects anyone to download the 1.3.1_02 plugin if they don't already have a plugin installed so they get the blank dialog! Sun, please fix this as SOON as possible because this may actually hurting some of our sales!!!

It works successfully on JRE1.3.1. However, after I uninstalling the JRE and use the default JRE of the IE5 (JRE1.1.x), it didn't work. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I have one signed applet, it works ok in a lot of PCs but in some the certification dialog dont show up, and than IE treats my code as unsigned. The cab file is signed with verisign certificate. Can anyone help ?
I checked at Tools -> Int Opts -> Content -> Certificates
and compared it to another machine where the applet works fine, they are equal. Looked at Tools -> Int Opts -> Security, and they are equal too. Looked at Microsoft site and nothing about it.
Need help.
The problem occur in IE 5.5 with the VM 5.0.0.3805
Thanks in advance,
