I've turned off the "use Java 2V1.4.0_01 <for applet> option in the advanced options of my IE, but it doesn't change a thing.

I probably won't be able to track it down myself because I've tried every option that I know of. The last thing I can think about is completely uninstalling Jemplode and those Java applets, but that's something I would like to avoid if at all possible. (I like Jemplode!)
