Vista - Re: Can't See Applets

Sunshine, from your message, it's not clear to me if applets display for you
in IE and if you only get the message when trying to view one in Windows
Mail. Also, whether you have 32bit or 64bit Vista might make a difference.

You may want to look at the attached. In the zipped file is an embedded EOT
example that should display fine for you in Windows Mail with the standard
stationery settings. Also, there's a simple 'applet in iframe' example that
was a .nws file renamed as an .mht file. You should be able to see the
applet since the .mht file opens in IE (if you can see applets in IE like
here: http://www.anfyteam.com). If you save the .mht file to your hard drive
and then rename it back to a .nws file as it was posted originally, it may
work fine for you or it may crash your Windows Mail. If it doesn't work for
you renamed back as a .nws file, the problem may be DEP.

I am aware of at least one person turning off UAC, disabling DEP and then
turning UAC back on and then applet stationeries using the 'applet in
iframe' method worked fine for them in Windows Mail and the Windows Mail
crashing problem was eliminated. I'm not advising anyone to turn off DEP and
since applet stationeries using the 'applet in iframe' method work fine for
me in Vista Windows Mail with DEP and UAC on (by default), I'm leaving the
DEP discussion to others. In any case here's a link that the person who
turned off DEP posted.

You may want to look on the applets group on news.annexcafe.com for more
about this.

Applets stationeries created using the 'applet in iframe' method work fine
for me in Vista Windows Mail, but this seems not to be the case for everyone
with Vista. At this point my guess is that it's about half and half. They do
seem to work fine for everyone with XP.

Applet stationeries created the old way as they have been done for years
will not display the applet for anyone with Sun JRE only installed, not in
OE, and not in Windows Mail. You would have to install MS JVM to view them
and I advise against doing so since it is no longer supported:
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/default.mspx
....but that's something that everyone will have to decide for themselves.
Many people getting new PCs with Vista are opting not to install MS JVM
which I think is the better decision.

Hope this helps.

I was reading a thread on stationery applets and eots. I have
just purchased a laptop with Windows Vista on it, therefore, I am forced to
use Windows Mail. I cannot see applets or eots in my stationery groups. I
have the latest version of Sun Java installed. When I click on an applet
to open it, I
get a message to install an addon in IE. However, when I click the install,
Windows will not allow it to insall. Really hope someone is able to help me
work this one out.

Thanks,
Sunshine
