The applet download appears to “hang” during download. What has happened?
During the applet download you will see a message “Loading Java Applet “. At the start of the download process, the browser will present a query window asking for approval to accept the security certificate. The download will not continue until a response is provided by you. Occasionally this window will get hidden behind the browser window. By holding down the Alt key and pressing Tab, a window will popup showing the active applications. Look for an icon with a steaming cup of coffee (shown below) and the title “Java Plug In Security Warning”. Continue to hold the Alt key and Tab over until this icon is highlighted. This security certificate allows you to verify the authenticity of the site you are visiting,and to communicate with it securely.
