Java applet won't run since moving to Win 7 64 bit.

[bilzmale]

I'm running 64 bit Win and am trying to run a Java applet to download music files I have paid for from HDTracks. The music site's Java applet appears in downloads and I select Java to open the jlnp applet. Java starts with a pop-up screen in front saying "Splash: recv failed". I dismiss the popup and the Java screen then runs for about 15 seconds (moving dots show progress) and then it disappears.

I get the same result in IE (32 & 64 bit), Firefox and Safari. I have used Revo Pro to uninstall and then clean re-installed Java using both online and manual methods. Have reinstalled both 32 and 64 bit with no effect on the problem. I was using Version 6.0.210.7. I also tried an old version (5.0.22) but it did not install browser plugins automatically. Currently running 6.0.16.

I am not a programmer/developer so hope I'm in the right forum.

The "Java Applets" forum is probably better for this but we'll leave that up to the discretion of the moderators to move it if they feel so inclined.

In the meantime, what firewall do you use?

(Headed to bed now, if no one replies by morning I'll check in again.)

Are there any messages in the browser's Java console window that could help?
Copy and paste them here.

Zack and Norm - thanks for the replies.

Mysteriously and happily the problem has resolved itself.

I went to the Java test applet again and this time got the message everything was installed correctly and my download applet worked.
