Need help getting applet to work in IE7

[Gus Wilco]

Hi,
Several years ago (2004) I placed an applet on out my webpage. It worked with most browsers back then. Today, that applet works fine in IE6 and Firefox, but does not load at all in IE7. Do I need to update how the applet is embedded? Here is the code snippet:

<!--"CONVERTED_APPLET"-->
<!-- HTML CONVERTER -->
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!--
var _info = navigator.userAgent;
var _ns = false;
var _ns6 = false;
var _ie = (_info.indexOf("MSIE") > 0 && _info.indexOf("Win") > 0 && _info.indexOf("Windows 3.1") < 0);
//--></SCRIPT>
<COMMENT>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.1"><!--
var _ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") >= 0 && ((_info.indexOf("Win") > 0 && _info.indexOf("Win16") < 0 && java.lang.System.getProperty("os.version").indexOf("3.5") < 0) || (_info.indexOf("Sun") > 0) || (_info.indexOf("Linux") > 0) || (_info.indexOf("AIX") > 0) || (_info.indexOf("OS/2") > 0) || (_info.indexOf("IRIX") > 0)));
var _ns6 = ((_ns == true) && (_info.indexOf("Mozilla/5") >= 0));
//--></SCRIPT>
</COMMENT>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!--
if (_ie == true) document.writeln('<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" WIDTH = 1 HEIGHT = 1 codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0"><NOEMBED><XMP>');
else if (_ns == true && _ns6 == false) document.writeln('<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4" CODE = "AdMakerApp.AdMakerApp.class" ARCHIVE = "AdMakerApp.jar" WIDTH = 1 HEIGHT = 1 pw ="go571"/ scriptable=false pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html#download"><NOEMBED><XMP>'); //--></SCRIPT>

<APPLET code = "AdMakerApp.AdMakerApp.class" archive = "AdMakerApp.jar" width = 1 height = 1></XMP>

<PARAM name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">
<PARAM name="scriptable" value="false">
<PARAM name = "pw" value="demo"/>


</APPLET>
</NOEMBED>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

I have an old applet with old HTML and it works in IE7.

Is there anything in the Java console?
Do you have the java plugin?

Have you tried it without all the mumble-jumble, just with an <applet> tag?
