title: Java applet fails in java7 on page load/reload in IE9
body: <p>I am running an Applet in a web application (ASP.NET), <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/deployingApplet.html" rel="nofollow">deployment</a> using <a href="http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js" rel="nofollow">deployJava.js</a>. It worked/works fine on Java 6 u XX. </p>
  
  <p>After the latest update to Java 7u5 I've run into an incomprehensible issue. On IE9 the Applet works fine, at first, but after any reloading (F5 or postback) the Applet simply freezes.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Java Plug-in 10.5.0.05
  Using JRE version 1.7.0_05-b05 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
  User home directory = C:\Users\***
  
  basic: Starting applet teardown
  basic: Finished applet teardown
  basic: Removed progress listener: sun.plugin.util.ProgressMonitorAdapter@2e749c
  plugin2manager.parentwindowDispose
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On Firefox and Chrome the Applet works fine. After downgrading the JRE version to 6 one, all browsers (including IE-9) work fine. </p>
  
  <p>I've read a couple of Java/Oracle/IE9 tickets with the same problem and tried the prescribed work-around's but they haven't helped:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://www.java.com/en/download/help/clearcache_upgrade.xml" rel="nofollow">Clear Java cache</a></li>
  <li>Disabling/Enabling any <a href="http://www.binbert.com/blog/2011/02/java-applet-not-working-blank-in-ie9/" rel="nofollow">IE9 settings</a></li>
  <li>Security, <a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ieitprocurrentver/thread/54025e15-6648-477c-b3e1-7207ac961478" rel="nofollow">Java scripting</a>, ActiveX filtering, compatibility mode etc)</li>
  <li><a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7074440" rel="nofollow">Clearing doctype</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>BTW: After IE9 freezes I check the iexplorer.exe process and it picks up 130 - 180 Mb of RAM. After deleting this process, iexplorer.exe reloads and works fine until the next browser/applet reload.</p>
  
  <p>Please ask for more details if I'm not making myself clear enough. Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Could anyone helps me to resolve IE9&amp;Java7 issue?</strong></p>
