Why has my Java3d applets stopped working on Vista?
I made a collection of 3d applets a few years ago for my site
http://www.astralvisuals.com
They work on XP, but when I test them on Vista, they don't work anymore.After the applet has printed out "applet started" the browser window crashes. Try the first applets on this page
http://www.astralvisuals.com/Tunnels.htm
and see for yourself. What can I do to make the applets work on Vista?

Windows Vista has a change in the kernel that causes some programs to fail to start or fail to run correctly. for example, Nortan Antivirus 07 won't run on vista without a patch because vista has what microsoft calls "a protected kernel".
These new protection features are probably to blame (I use Linux, and I liked your website).
So, you need to wait for the Java3D developers to patch the Windows version for the new vista shell.
It could take a while.
