Probably a really Stupid Question - HELP!!!
I am brand new to Java, the kit, and everything inside it. After downloading and installing the software, I thought I would try some of the examples first before attempting to write one of my own applets. For this reference I went to: c:\j2sdk1.4.0\demo\applets\blink and clicked on the "example1.html" file and got the following error in Windows Explorer 7.0:
No JDK 1.3 support for APPLET!!
How do I get this support for my copy of IE 7? Do I have to download something or is it a setting inside IE7? THANKS to ANYONE out there that can give me some insight on this problem.

I never heard of IE 7.0, the last version I know is 6.0. Anyway, you must enable java in your browsers. For this you can go to Control Panel ->Java Plug-in->Browsers and check the boxes near the browsers you want to be Java-enabled. It should work after this.
Yes, you were right, I meant IE 6.0. Thanks for your prompt reply. I appreciate it. I did what you said and another catastrophy poped-up. Typical Windows right?. I hate Windows. When I clicked on the Java Plug-In 1.4.0 in the Control Panel, the follwoing error message popped up:
The system cannot find the Registry key specified.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Javasoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.0\JavaHome
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I'm using W98 SE. Any ideas? THANKS fior your help.
It must be some problem with the installation of jdk. Try to create that key in the registry.
In the run menu type "regedit". Go to the key specified in the error message and add the JavaHome subkez with the value:
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0
Or look for the location of the "Java\j2re1.4.0" folder in your PC.
Also check to see if there is a subkey "UseJava2IExplorer" with the value "0x00000001 (1)", I mean value 1 hexadecimal.
Restart Windows and try again. If this does not work maybe you can try to reinstall JDK1.4
