Hi
I saw many Questions and unfortunately no answer related to signed
applets not running on Windows. I also face the same problem. I am
trying to run a signed applet from Windows along with Project Java
Activator
I did the following
1. Installed Activator
2. Had to change the options in control panel to give my applet
unrestricted network access, even though it does not talk to any other
server m/c other than the one from where applet is downloaded. I think
it should not be necessary.
3. Imported the signer identity and certficate into the local system.
4. Downloaded the applet from a converted html, and it runs fine along
with Activator, but gives security exception when trying to access local
system.
I have signed applet jar file with cert. generated using javakey.
Is there a problem with signed applets and windows?
Is there any way to make it work on windows?

Thanks
Neelakshi
