Hi guys and gals,

Was just wondering if anyone else had seen something similar to this, I have JRE 6 Update 13 been deployed from the server (as I have at another school with no problems) however when I got to a webiste that uses a java applet as a domain user (besides the domain admin user which works fine) the applet refuses to load and when I check the console I get the following jibberish:

Java Plug-in 1.6.0_13
Using JRE version 1.6.0_13 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Documents and Settings\javatest
----------------------------------------------------
c: clear console window
f: finalize objects on finalization queue
g: garbage collect
h: display this help message
l: dump classloader list
m: print memory usage
o: trigger logging
q: hide console
r: reload policy configuration
s: dump system and deployment properties
t: dump thread list
v: dump thread stack
x: clear classloader cache
0-5: set trace level to <n>

Local users work and I have even tried giving a standard domain user both local and domain admin rights as a test to see if that would work but sadly not.

Please has anyone seen this before as I am completely stumped now, I have been through all group policies on the server and can't find anything that would interfere with java in such a way

I have even tried removing the deploy policy for java, uninstalling it, running ccleaner reg fixes and then installing it straight from the website with no luck

Thanks in advance for any help offered,

Adrian
