Game Applet does nothing During Runescape

I am having trouble with the java game Runescape.

I use the site created Client Window in which to play the game using JRE 1.5.0_11. The client window offers the best performance and allows some of my other programs to run without trouble.

When you select to play the game it gives 4 options (the wording is to "Select Java Version") by which to play it. They are:

Signed Applet Using Java Default (Recommended)

Signed Applet Using SUN Java

Signed Applet Using Microsoft Java

Unsigned Applet Using Default Java

My trouble arises when i choose the recommended option, Signed Applet Using Java Default (Recommended), the Client Window proceeds to the screen which contains a "box" where the game should run but all i get is a grey filled box that sits inactive and useless.

However when I choose "Signed Applet Using SUN Java" the game loads in the "box", which is usually grey, but in using this option the game is volatile and crashes often or dies when another low demand program may be running in the background, leading me to believe that either my computer cannot read my default which is selected in the

Internet Properties>Advanced>Java(Sun)>Use JRE 1.5.0_11 for <applet>.

Or there is another problem of which I have no clue. Any help or insight people could offer would be greatly appreciated. Also this never used to happen before ran Windows Update and loaded some critical updates.

Thanks, Bigpetey.

There has been a development.

I haved just deleted all the runescape cache files, all the temp internet files and cookies and then unistalled Java all together.

Then restarted my computer, reinstalled Java then restarted again. This resulted in, instead of a blank grey box being displayed acutally a small rectangular white symbol, with a blue triangle a red squarew and green circle being displayed in the top left corner of where the game should be.

Any thoughts/ideas of how to correct this would be appreciated.

That happens to me when i deleted the whole Java file. It just goes to that box thing and has those shapes but then it turns to a red x. Ithinkm you need to download the Java that they use.
