Hi Harold,
Thanks for the response. Your question/suggestion was thoughtful. Often
we overlook the obvious. However, in this case I had already double
checked to ensure that the appropriate JRE was indeed selected (.ie. the
Radio button was down and filled in with a black circle). Unfortunately,
it does not help. On the flip side, the same JRE works fine under OO 1.1.
Apparently between OO 1.1 and 2.0 something has gone astray with java
applets. It is such a cool feature and I am disappointed that it does not
work right in 2.0. Maybe someday when I have the time I will dig through
the source codes.
Perhaps a stupid question as you seem to be a lot more familiar with Java in
OOo than I am, but this had me tearing my hair out for about an hour yesterday:
In Tools>Option>OpenOffice.org>Java there's a list of installed JREs. Probably there's
only one. In any case, to the left of the Vendor is a little radio button. Is that filled with a
small black dot (pressed "down")?
Yesterday, for completely other reasons, I upgraded my JRE to 1.5.0.09. The result was that several
parts of OOo stopped working and gave me error messages to the effect that my JRE was
"defective". By accident I noticed that the button was "up" (clear) and that
pressing it solved the problem.
I think the idea is that the radio button lets you select which one of several JREs you
have installed. But even if there's only one, the button needs to be "down".
Oh, I'm on OOo 2.0.4 running Win XP Pro. The messages may be different in other
environments.
