Q: Java: There is no check box for "enable applet plugin and web start applications" under the general tab for Java preference.  I run snow leopold and has Java SE6. I don't know if Java runtime is installed and don't know how to

I am a complete novice and I tried to load a webpage that apparently runs Java applet.  When I do that, the site gives a message saying "Applet would not initialize" even though it seems that the Java is enabled in my browser.  I checked some discussion links and some seem to suggest that I need to check the checkbox "enable applet plugin and web start applications" under Java preference.  I went to the general tab but there is no such checkbox.

 

Run now, under Java preference it shows that I run Java SE6 1.6.0_51 but I can't see Java Runtime.  I tried downloading Java runtime 6 but can't find a source on google.  Please help!
