    i just downloaded the java2 sdk 1.4 and i can't view any of the examples that comes with it aswell as not being able to view my own apps.

    when i load up the app in IE5 and hover over the application it says (in the taskbar along the bottom), "load class (name of applet) not found" - is there anything i need to download to remedy this?

    When a browser cannot display an applet, it can usually be either 2 things.
    1. There is no JRE (VM) installed
    2. The browser just can't find the code, due to a codebase error
    In this case it sounds like you have the VM installed, and it just can't find the class files. What I propose you do is write a simple applet, and don't use packages. Ie, keep everything in the working dir. Once you have compiled that. Write your HTML code, and the applet tag like this:

    <APPLET CODE="myApplet" CODEBASE="."></APPLET>

    That should do the trick. 9/10 times in Java, the problem relates the VM or compiler not being able to find the necessary files to complete tasks.

    HTH :)
