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 appletplugin 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!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I went to the general tab but there is no such checkbox.

What about the Security & Advanced tabs? Did you check those?

CLICKY CLICK---> Java for OS X 2013-004

CLICKY CLICK---> Java updates available for OS X on April 16, 2013

After the installations, repair permissions and restart your computer.

If your java problems are while using Safari, you need to post in that forum area.

Thank you. I think I have installed these updates but that did not help. Can you tell me how to "repair permissions"? I have already posted seperately in the Safari forum. Thanks again!
