Oops! My mistake, I'm VERY sorry - somehow, I had uninstalled
the Java Plug-in, yet had the JDK/JRE hanging around.
I have been able to rectify the problem without having
to reinstall everything. Here's how:
1. I have JDK1.3 installed in D:\JDK1_3. The sub-folder
"jre\bin" within this contains the np*.dll as well as
the "plugincpl.cpl" Control Panel applet.
2. I first created the registry key (using regedit):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.3
3. I then created a String value within this key named
"JavaHome" and containing the value "d:\JDK1_3\jre"
(the path to the JRE essentially).
4. I copied the np*.dll files from D:\JDK1_3\jre\bin to
my Mozilla Plugins folder.
5. I copied the "plugincpl.cpl" file from D:\JDK1_3\jre\bin
to Windoze system32 folder.
And that's all! All my applets now work properly!
And the cool thing is that Netscape 4.78 also works with
the Java plug-in (after copying the np*.dll files into
the Netscape Plugins folder)!!
Thanks to all of you for your help and I apologise again
for something that was a very silly mistake.
Ranjit.
