!!!!!!!!Strange applet error!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question

I have a question. I am currently helping some professors with their programming and the newest task that I have been issued involves a problematic java applet. You see, somebody designed the applet and it worked just fine. Now however, it works only on the server computer. On any other machine, the applet doesn't work properly (the radio buttons are all pressed at the same time, the simulation that is supposed to run does not occur...) When I access the IE explorer's Code Download Error Log, I get this:
*** Code Download Log entry (18 Jul 2002 @ 00:39:09) ***
Code Download Error: (hr = 80004004) Operation aborted
Operation failed. Detailed Information:

Is it just the JVM being different on different machines or is it something else? Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Hi,
Is there a difference between the server computer and the other machines?? So, are the used Explorers (and JVM!) different? The log does not make any sense to me, but the first thing I should check is if it runs properly without the Internet Explorer: so, try to run the applet using the command-prompt Appletviewer. Running an applet using the prompt could give you perhaps more information about what class or object has been crashed...
Good luck!
