Applets and J2SE 5.0 - problems?

[Frank D. Greco]

I set my IE browser (corporate edict to use IE...ugh)
to use the 9/30 FCS release of 5.0

Whenever I visit a page with an applet, the browser
crashes.

Someone at our local user group (www.javasig.com)
mentioned something about version mismatches (???).

Anyone else experience this?

btw, kudos to Calvin Austin (J2SE 5.0 spec lead) and
the rest for a very organized and efficient release.

Your IE crashes on this URL, then?

(It is a simple 1.1 compatible applet that shows properties)

If it does not crash, what is the version reported?
