How do I execute an applet ?

[StanSteve]

Dear Java Friends,
In trying to run applets... I downloaded the html converter and opened it from Windows Explorer.
It asked "Where would you like to install ?"
I stored it in JBuilder4.
It said "choose a java virtual machine"
I chose C:\jdk1.3.1/bin/java.exe

When I double click on the TryingApplet.html to execute the applet I get a window appearing but at the top it says:
"Apple Viewer TryingApplet.class"
at the bottom of the screen it says
" start applet not initialized"
What to do ?

your advice appreciated

Have you tried running it from the command prompt. Make sure you are in the directory where the applet is and type: appletviewer [appletname]

i have the same prob. my applet works fine through an applet viewer but says 'applet not initialized' through a browser (better than the class not found before i used the html converter but still...)
thanks
