Troubleshoot help:

The applet is tested and working in browsers with Java plugin:
- Windows - Firefox, Opera, Internet Exporer
- MacOS - Firefox, Safari
- Linux (tested on Ubuntu) - Firefox

Found out that applet is not working with Chrome on some systems.

If applet is not running in a browser window try to:
1. reload page and wait a while, if it doesn't help,
2. delete browsers cache and restart browser, if this doesn't help,
3. download latest Java from here for windows or manually from here for all operating systems and reload page. Test if you have installed latest Java plugin here.
4. use Firefox or Opera instead of Internet Exporer (you have to allow active content in IE).
