Java applications not running in internet explorer

alanf52 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:51:21 GMT

I recently got a VGN-F21S but have never been able to view websites with java applets. Java is installed and enabled but it just won't work. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but still won't work.

Any ideas?

You also need to make sure that Java is enabled in Internet Explorer advanced options.

Go to Tools -> Options

Click Advanced tab

Scroll down to find "Java (sun)" and check the box below it, which should read something similar to "Use JRE 1.6.0_03 for ".

What errors do you get, or what happens / doesn't happen when you browse a java enabled site?

Hi alanf52,

Can you try running IE7 as an administrator (right click Icon and select "Run as administrator").

If Java applets then work it is a problem with UAC, but I can offer no solution at present.

Can you confirm that Java applets work in Firefox?

Thats it, when I run it as an administrator the java applets now run. Thanks a bunch.

You're welcome alanf52

Let's hope that we can find a permanent solution in the near future as UAC is a nightmare at present. Maybe SP1 will solve some issues...

If all else fails and everyone including Rich's suggestion hasn't worked then you can go to internet explorer> internet options >advanced> and reset. That will definately work as I had a simular problem with java after updating the latested version and Dreamweaver wouldn't load some of my webpages.

Nice one Tony.

I think I may have found another solution to the problem.

When you update Sun Java it does not remove the old version and this causes a conflict between UAC and IE. Have a look in Add/Remove programs and delete all but the most recent update. This will hopefully resolve the issue.

I'm sure I've replied to a similar problem before, can't find the thread now though..

Once Java Runtime Environment version 6 was uninstalled and then version 6.3 installed, the problem disappeared..
