I am trying to use a Java applet (any Java Applet), but I always get a messages saying "Error. Click for details".

When I do so, the pop-up says:

Application Error

ClassNotFoundException

jreVerification.class

When I click the "Details" button, all I see is the following:

Java Plug-in 10.7.2.10
Using JRE version 1.7.0_07-b10 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Users\razumny
----------------------------------------------------
c:   clear console window
f:   finalize objects on finalization queue
g:   garbage collect
h:   display this help message
l:   dump classloader list
m:   print memory usage
o:   trigger logging
q:   hide console
r:   reload policy configuration
s:   dump system and deployment properties
t:   dump thread list
v:   dump thread stack
x:   clear classloader cache
0-5: set trace level to <n>
----------------------------------------------------

I am running Windows 7 Professional, and am up to date on patches.

The problem occurs in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, regardless of what Java Applet I am running.

The error I quoted above came from here: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre

I have attempted the following to rectify the issue:

• Uninstall and reinstall Java
• Uninstall Java, reboot, install Java
• Uninstall Java, delete all registry entries, reboot, install Java

In addition, I have run Malware and Virus scans, none of which have shown anything of relevance.

At this point, I am at my wit's end, and so, I turn to you.
