With Java Web Start the JVM runs as a separate process. All the browser has to do is kick it off. There is no 32-bit/64-bit cross calling. I have IE9-64/Windows 7/64, but I have not managed to get an applet to run. Mind you I have not yet figured out how to get 32 bit to run either. I just fiddle around and fiddle around and suddenly it starts to work seemingly spontaneously some time later. I have not yet worked out a recipe. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith (born: 1908-10-15 died: 2006-04-29 at age: 97)
