If the above Currency Converter Java Applet does not work…

1. This Java Applet needs Java 1.1 or later, ideally version 1.6.0_06 and a recent browser.
2. You should see an Applet above looking much like the screenshot. If you don’t, the following should help you get it working:
3. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, try another browser. Seriously. Microsoft has taken great pains, over and over, to screw up Java and every other mult-platform standardisation.
4. If you are using Internet Explorer 7, you must allow blocked content permission for Active X to run. This also gives permission to Java to run. Click the Information bar, and then click Allow blocked content. Unfortunately, this also allows dangerous ActiveX code to run. However, you must do this in order to get access to perfectly-safe Java Applets running in a sandbox. This is part of Microsoft’s war on Java. Don’t put up with it! Use a different browser.
5. To ensure your Java is up to date, check with Wassup.
6. If the above Java Applet does not work, check the Java console for error messages.
7. If the above Applet does not work, you might have better luck with the downloadable version.
