Yea, like I mentioned before, the Workbench doesn't appear to load right away, but it looks like it does after it gets cached. I may try something like loading the gif before the applet and see if that makes any difference.
@ Karlos
They best I can tell from all of that is that the "Amiga" class, which is the "main" class that runs the entire applet, is not getting loaded. Unfortunately, I can't tell you why that's occuring. Have you checked your browser settings, or even tried a new browser?
