The Java control panel is not configured to use the web browser. If the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is already installed but applets do not work, you may need to enable the JRE for your web browser.

If you do not see the coffee cup icon in the Windows Control Panel, you do not have the latest version of the Sun JRE installed on your computer.
