Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or later
Java 1.1 applets are working with Explorer 4 or later, but
you have to select the option Microsoft Virtual Machine
or Microsoft VM at the installation process! Otherwise
no Java is installed!
A lot of applets are not running correctly with the old
Java VM shipped with IE4!
Get the latest Java
Plugin for Internet Explorer from SUN or if you prefer
the Microsoft VM (very old Java version) get it from here!
Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.X
The Navigator has a built-in Java virtual machine (VM).
So you do not have to install the Java VM from Sun.
Navigator is able to run Java 1.1 applets since version
4.06. If you have an older version, the easiest way to run
Java 1.1 applets, is to upgrade.
With Navigator 3.0 or earlier versions there is no possibility
to run Java 1.1 applets!
Note:
In case of problems starting Java applets (e.g. error
message "class not found: Stereoscope.class" or "... CAN'T
INIT") a possible reason could be that you accessed this
page with a Netscape browser 4.x via a proxy server. In
this case please follow these steps:
- Close all instances of Netscape
- Edit the preference-file PREFS.JS using notepad:
This is usually located in a directory /programs/Netscape/Users/USERNAME/,
the file is called 'prefs.js'.
Add or modify the following line:
user_pref("security.lower_java_network_security_by_trusting_proxies",
true);
- Start Netscape
If the write protection was not set, Netscape will remove
the entry from the 'prefs.js' file.
Get Netscape
Navigator!
Netscape 6 or Mozilla
Netscape 6 and Mozilla are based on the same program. To
run Java Applets with these browsers you have to install
the Java
Plug-in from Sun.
Netscape 7
If Nescape 7 closes when you try to open a page containing
a Java Applet, download and install the Java
Plug-in from Sun.
The Opera Browser
The Opera Browser uses Sun's Java Plugin to run applets
- no problem.
Get the Opera
browser!
Get the Java
Plug-in from Sun.
Sun's HotJava browser
Sun's HotJava browser uses Sun's Java VM. To run it you
have to get the Java Runtime from Sun, too!
I like the HotJava browser very much, because it is small
and fast!
Get HotJava
Get the
Java
Runtime Environment (Java 1.1)
