All of a sudden my PC (Dell Latitude, Windows XP) won’t load any java applets.

I get the following messages

1)Applet AniS notinited

then, Loading Java Applet Failed.

Any help?

Probably the damn Sun JRE. If I remember correctly, here’s the setting:

Control Panel\>Sun Java Control Panel\>Browsers tab\>Uncheck Internet Explorer.

Usually caused by installing Netscape 6/Mozilla.
