Apologies for the lack of indenting.  Blame my newsreader.

note:
what is needed is to have a JRE installed that is the same number of
bits as the browser. a 64-bit JRE will not work with a 32-bit browser
and vice-versa. this is generally a result of how most browsers handle
plugins.

AFAICT, one can have both a 32-bit and 64-bit JRE installed at the same
time on the same system and this seems to work (although I have not
entirely investigated the details of this).


another option is to install a 64-bit browser, but at least in the past,
this had problems with Flash player (lack of 64-bit Flash players,
although last I remember there was a Beta-stage 64-bit version of Flash
available, and it may be in release status now for all I know...).

-----------------------

This is not what I am finding.  I have 64-bit JRE installed in a 32-bit 
browser and *other* Java applets work fine and Java Web Start applications 
from other sites work fine.  It's just my local applet that is having this 
problem.

In general, I have no problem running a 64-bit JRE inside a 32-bit browser.

And loving it,
