If that approach does not appeal to you, Simon's recommendation is entirely workable.

Does this IE helper plugin allow a 32-bit IE to use 64-bit Java?

It's a good question, to which I haven't so far been able to find a clear answer. I do know that I only have 64 bit Java installed, and that when I accessed IE (which is not my default browser) it offered to enable the plugin. I don't have IE 64 bit enabled currently (I think you have to enable it explicitly in Win 7 and 8).

Is there a test site you could suggest? As I said in my earlier post, I'm not seeing much use of Java applets in the sites I most frequently use.
