the ie doesn't load the applet because of the old ms-vm it is
using. You have to tell ie to use the right jre-vm.
This can be done by ie-setting (extra - options - use the sun java vm - or something like that).
or the option can be also activated by the java control panel (in system properties - java plugin - browser)
Another way is to use the htmlconverter-tool (look in your
sun java sdk bin-directory).
