I'm getting the error java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)... when I try to load an applet to Netscape 4.61 off one of my subdirectories. The line that triggers the error is new Thread(this).start(); The problem seems to have something to do with the location of the class files, because I have no problem loading the applet when the class files are in a subdirectory in the JDK installation tree (/usr/local/jdk1.3.1). Also, the applet performs fine if I run it using appletviewer, even off my subdirectory. Can someone guess why I'm getting this error? Thanks! KJ p.s.
