Is there a test site you could suggest? As I said in my earlier post, I'm not seeing much use of Java applets in the sites I most frequently use.

I was trying to open MinimWatch using the folder it installed on my desktop, clicking on it nothing opens.

Doesn't MinimWatch open to a set up screen for MinimServer, where is my misunderstanding here ?

The minim icon created by MinimWatch is a "remote control" for MinimServer. You can display the icon's menu selections by right-clicking on the icon. These selections are described on this page.

Ok I'll review these, looks like everything it running ok now, thanks to everyone on the help, good forum guys.

Thanks for that. You will not be altogether surprised to learn that a 64 bit Java installation is not recognised by IE 32. So, presumably, 64 bit IE has to be specifically enabled and used with 64 bit Java. This validates your advice to rogerdn.

I still prefer to use 64 bit Java, for myself. In security terms, I am more comfortable keeping a program runtime out of my browser, and I haven't recently found myself wanting to use a web-based Java applet. Others' priorities will be different.
