Applet problem
Hi folks,
I have a problem with running applets in both I.E. and Netscape. I downloaded NetBeans which contains J2SE SDK. I also downloaded JRE. Originally I could run applets after these downloads. I then downloaded J2SE SDK by itself which caused me no ends of problems as I had Netbeans and a seperate J2SE SDK. I was no longer able to run applets. I then used XP's system restore a couple of times to try and rescue the situation. Now when ever i try to run an applet in both I.E. and Netscape both close their windows immediately. How can I remedy the situation. Any help greatly appreciated.

At this point I recommend that you use Windows add/remove programs and remove NetBeans, and all of the Java installations (in my machine, Java version 5 entries show up in the list starting with "J2SE...")
If they all remove, then manually delete any errant directories that might be left behind. You'll probably find one in the C: root and Java and Javasoft ones in Program Files. You may also find this one C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\Application Data\Sun
I believe you'll find that when you installed the NetBeans bundle it installed Java in directories like C:\jdk1.5.0\... and C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\..., while the separate SDK installed both a JDK and a JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\....
I can believe that combining these could cause problems.
I recommend that after everything is uninstalled and the machine is cleaned up (hopefully you won't need to scrub the Registry) that you install the Java SDK (aka JDK, now) first, then go to the NetBeans site http://www.netbeans.org and install NB. That way, you can update or remove either one whenever you need without destroying the machine.
