Can't load Java applets in Safari

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard, Safari can't load Java applets. I get a blue Lego brick with a question mark, and a message telling me that Java was not found.

Firefox is unaffected, and I get the same error whether Safari is open in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Programs written in Java, such as Vuze, are unaffected.

MacBook Pro (15" 2.33 GHz C2D), Mac OS X (10.6.1), iPhone 3G. I want an Apple TV.

Click on all of the "restore defaults" buttons and "delete files" button. If that doesn't work, try it from another user account. You may have to browser caches you need to delete.

Create another admin user account log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, the issue's within the original account, usually amongst preference (plist) files. If so, then it's system-wide and reinstalling the 10.6.2 COMBO update, repairing permissions, and restarting should do the trick.
