Swing applet refresh problem in JRE1.6

Question

Now , i met a problean in java swing project which troubled me for a long time, that i want to ask for some suggestions, I really very very thank you.
The problean is :
we use the swing in the applet , and run it with JRE 1.6, we find that the interface often disappear and appears blank when refresh the page , but when we use the mouse to over the control which in the interface ,then this control will appear . Then we try to reduce some not used codes/packets in this project , then we find that this phenomenon will appear less often.
This defect will not appear in JRE 1.4 and JRE 1.5. And also it will not appear when just run it as a desktop program.
I don't know if it is a bug in JRE 1.6 or it is due to our program. Can you give me some suggestions ? Thank you!

2, Problem happen condition :
     Applet with swing;
     Run in JRE1.6 environment;
     Open or refresh the applet web page;
     IE, Netscape, Mozilla , almost all explorers.
3, Problean describe :
     Open the Start.html page and click the �Pre-Provisioning Tool� button to open the PPT.html page. There is a configuration applet which uses swing in the PPT page. When we open or refresh this page , the applet often disappear and show blank. And when we move the mouse over the position of the control which in the applet , these controls then will appear again. But if we use the buttons which in the applet to open and back to the applet tab page, it will not show blank.
     At last we find that this problem is a very common problem when run applet in JRE1.6. It may happen whenever you run the applet which uses swing controls in JRE1.6.
     And I find that we use �Ctrl + Alt + Del� to lock the computer and then login in again when the page is blank, then the page will turn ok and the applet will appear.
     This prolem just happen in JRE1.6 environment . If in JRE1.4 or 1.5 it performes good.
4, What cause this issue :
     Until now , we have no successful and perfect solution to solve this problem completely. And we still don�t know the real reasons that causes this issue.. We find that there are some people in internet also met this issue and has no solution.
     But we can give some options to try to find the real reasons. And we also have been try some time :
It may a bug for JRE1.6. We can sure that it is not a bug for explorers, because it happens the same in all explorers. If it�s a JRE bug , I think we can only to waite the newer version JRE to solve this issue.
It due to our program. If this is true, I think we may modify the program to solve this sssue. But I�m afraid that it may need us to modify too much.
5, What works we have been try :
5.2 For our program : We try such ways :
     1) If the project too big and too much to download : We remove the not needed modules that in TCOTool project. .
     Result : This problem happened less often
     2) If some methods are not compatible between JRE 1.4/1.5 and JRE1.6 : I try to modify these method to fit JRE1.6 and compile the project by jDK1.6. (Methed such as show() to setVisible(true), hidden() to setVisible(false) )
     result : This problem happened less often but it�s also will happen.
     3) If operator too much when open PPT/SUT : such as load xml file too much times and so on.
6, About our project :
6.1 The applet web page :
<OBJECT
classid = "clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
codebase = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.6"

MAYSCRIPT = true \
java.security.manager = \

</OBJECT>
6.2 The TCOTools.jar is almost 15Mb totally. So it need sometime to download this file. But we just test it in local.

Answer 1

I will start by stating that I really have no idea what the problem could be. I will add to that by stating that I am going way out on a limb here.
That said - have you checked all your browser settings, cleared your cache and all the other things one usually does when an Applet acts quirky?
Also, have you tried the Applet tag instead of Object just for a test?
Sorry I can't do better than that, but w/o seeing the code, it's going to be difficult for anyone to help I think unless they have had a similar problem.
