Hi Running ECDL testing - just can't get Java Applets to be enabled. I can do this with a normal admin machine - but there is something in Group Policy I am missing. Any help much appreciated.

Afternoon everyone, Having some trouble with a java applet at our school. We have a clock applet that the students must embed into a webpage. We received the applet from the moderators. Within the folder we received was a notepad file containing the relevant code to enter for the applet. The code is as follows; When we view the website in IE we get the following error message: NullPointerException With the error code of; java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: clock.jpg at java.net.URL.(Unknown Source) at java.net.URL.(Unknown Source) at com.sun.deploy.uitoolkit.impl.awt.AWTDefaultPreloader$GrayBoxPainterStarter.run(Unknown Source) 0 Java Plug-in 10.45.2.18 Using JRE version 1.7.0_45-b18 Java HotSpot™ Client VM User home directory = C:\Users\ ---------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------- We've tried everything we can think of, but none of us in our department are web design/java script experts. We've tested this applet on several machines and we've only managed to get it to work on one HP machine in our workshop so we don't think it's a problem with the applet we received. We think it's security settings somewhere. It just seems strange that it works on one HP and yet fails one the other HP machines under every account (staff, pupil, tech) which are the exact same model and image as the one machine we've managed to get it working on. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Rich
