Everything seems to be working perfectly as far as I can tell, but I am still getting error reports from the occasional Mac computer visitor. I have tested our site in all Windows browsers and even tested it on a couple of Macs but cannot reproduce any errors.
Any clue as to why we still get a complaint from the occasional Mac user? .

With Internet Explorer on the Macintosh, there is a security setting in the Options menu: "restrict access to non-java class files" and this setting if enabled will prevent applets from working in the browser. This is a setting that Microsoft added to their Macintosh version of Explorer only, and no-one knows why, but Microsoft has spent many years being openly hostile to the Java technology (which is owned by a rival company, Sun Microsystems).
If you go into your browser settings and reselect that option then your images will view fine.

Ok, tried this and no problem... thanks!
But I have a new problem. I encrypted some images using "no encryption" and tried them on my other web site... no image displayed... security exception. What's up here?

The image that isn't encrypted, is a standard jpeg image. That's not the problem.
Both "no encryption" and "normal encryption" options require that the key file be uploaded with the image. This file is located in the same folder on your hard disk as the prepared image and html files.
The key file enables us to protect even un-encrypted images from theft. When you select the "no encryption" or "normal encryption" option your images are viewable on all of your registered domains. If you only have one domain registered then the images (even the unencrypted ones) will only be viewable on that one domain.
Otherwise our program and YOUR IMAGES could be distributed for free.

Something else to consider if anyone uses both Netscape and IE on the same machine for testing sites... how many different versions of java are running at the same time? Both Aol and Microsoft opted for different java plugins and as a separate download from their browsers. Conflicts occur and they can be damaged easily. But how do you tell if you need to remove and update a plugin... and which one?
