Requirements to run Java™ Applets
 

In order to be able to run Java™ you need to use any of the following browsers:

  • Netscape Navigator™ version 3.1,
  • Netscape Communicator™ version 4,
  • Internet Explorer™ version 3 or greater, or
  • Hotjava™ browser in any version.
If you are using Netscape, you should also make sure that Java is enabled. You can do this by:
  1. Pulling down the options menu,
  2. Selecting Network Preferences,
  3. Selecting Languages, and
  4. Clicking on Enable Java
If you are using Internet Explorer version 4, you can make Java run more efficiently by:
  1. Pulling down the View menu and selecting the Options,
  2. Selecting the Advanced Options,
  3. Scrolling down until you find the JIT Java Compiler and clicking on that option.

In terms of the right computer to use, unfortunately Java requires considerable computing power. Even though you can run Java on a 486 PC computer with only 8 Megabytes of memory (or equivalent), you would need to be a very patient person.
