Turning on java applets

[Sethomas]

I recently had my harddrive formatted, and now my computer won't load java applets. How the hell do I change that? I've fiddled with the security settings a bit, to no avail. Help!

what version of windows and what version of IE? it's either tools -> internet options -> advanced tab, click restore defaults or you need a java update - www.java.com

You probably don't have the Microsoft Virtual Machine plugin installed. Running Windows Update should fix that problem, because it will probably auto-detect that it's not installed right away.
