Java Applet is not running in a browser

Question

I am trying to run my applet in a browser, chrome/IE but I get the following message:

Your security settings have blocked a local application from running

Due to Oracle, changing security level in java control panel from high to medium will solve the issue, but it does not. I have even tried the low level, and custom level too enabling all applications to run without any prompt. I have also changed the advanced setting to allow unsigned applets to run. It does not work in any way. Any help is appreciated.

Solution

Do the following

1. Go to IE
2. Tools -> Internet Options
3. Go to the Advanced Tab
4. Under Java(Sun) Select the check box saying 'Use JRE ... for applet' (requires restart)
5. Select Apply/Ok. Restart IE and try loading the applet again.
