Platform(s):
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 (SP4+), Windows XP (SP1 SP2), Windows 2003
JRE version(s):
1.5.0
Description:
* While trying to load a Runescape game, an error message exception:java.lang. NullPointer Exception appears at the bottom of the browser window
* Error message: Applet Loading Failed appears at the bottom of the browser window
Cause:
Problem with AOL caching of jar files
Older JRE version fails to load applet in the browser
AOL has confirmed that this is an issue with their caching servers and they are in the process of fixing this problem. They have already provided a workaround which will allow users to play games but download will be significantly slower.
