Please try again with a clean profile.

Does the bug happen when running in Safe Mode?

The circled path pointing to JRE7 folder seems the culprit. If the same dll is from JRE 6 it is ok.

Is it still not solved?? It does not work with a clean profile too. I updated to Java 7.0.45 and the applets do not work. If I change the registry entry circled (and others) in the image attached is changed to point to JRE6 folder applets work fine. 


With JRE7 I get the following details of the error when I load a local applet game....
Java Plug-in 10.45.2.18
Using JRE version 1.7.0_45-b18 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Users\*********

Hope this annoyance is cleared soon. I will request the developers to kindly confirm it works at their end before putting the ball into this court. Thanks.

nagan,

Thank you for taking time to report this.
Are you still able to reproduce this in the latest version ? 
Is there specific game to test with ?

Closing this as incomplete due to lack response from the reporter. 
Feel free to reopen the bug if it reproduces in the latest versions. Thanks
