FIX: Internet Explorer Hangs when Running Java Applets

Article ID: 161806

Article Last Modified on 5/12/2007

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q161806

SYMPTOMS

When not connected to a network, Internet Explorer hangs during initialization of Java applets. This problem would normally occur if the machine is configured to connect to the Internet through a Internet Service Provider, but, in this case, the connection has not been established.

This problem occurs only with certain configurations on Windows 95 systems.

CAUSE

The Microsoft virtual machine (Microsoft VM) was unnecessarily instantiating a class that attempted to resolve the local machine's IP address.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual J++ 1.1 and the Microsoft VM build 1251 or greater.

MsJava.dll is one of the files that has been updated. Checking the version number of this Dll should indicate the version of the Microsoft VM on the machine.

To obtain an updated version of the Microsoft VM, select the Microsoft VM Update link from http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java
