Java applet freezes my browser?

I’m using chrome on windows 7

I tried to go to the following oracle address for its tutorial:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/images/drawimage.html
But whenever I go to this link, the demo applet won’t run, the browser freezes, and I have to close chrome and open it up again.

Is this happening to anyone else? Do I need to re-install something? Thanks

Something seems off indeed.

This is my console output, with tracing level 5:

All applets on that page run for me: Windows 7 64bit with Java 7u7.

Works fine for me, Java 7 on windows 7 pro 32 bit

It works for me-zelle. 8)

Sounds like you need to clear your webstart cache.

Boy howdy do I look forward to explaining to my mom that she has to clear her webstart cache when she wants to play an applet solitaire game… But of course she doesn’t, because client-side java screwed the pooch so long ago on deployment issues like this that applets rightly died out with “nervous text” and “tumbling duke”, and webstart was too little too late (and still broken as we can plainly see).
