Client Platforms_______________________________________________________
   Platform ONE                        Platform TWO (laptop)
      Win95                               Win95
      JDK 1.0b1                           JDK 1.0b1
      NS/Navigator 2.0b3                  NS/Navigator 2.0b3
      Soundblaster-16                     ((NO Soundblaster-16))

Server Platform________________________________________________________
   UNIX

	
Issue__________________________________________________________________
   We have successfully compiled the Animator.class from Sun at:

      http://java.sun.com/applets/applets/Animator/index.html

   We have placed the compiled Animator.class and its components, 
   ImageNotFoundException.class and ParseException.class, on our UNIX 
   server.  When we visit our pages on the server using Netscape's
   2.0b3 Navigator on Platform ONE, the Animation applet performs
   as intended.

   However, when we visit the same pages on the server using the same
   2.0b3 Navigator on a DIFFERENT machine, Platform TWO (laptop), the 
   Animation applet does not initialize.

   When we removed the Soundblaster-16 drivers in the Platform ONE machine's
   AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the Animation applet does not initialize.  When we
   replace the drivers, the Animation applet performs correctly, again.
   We are NOT using a .au sound file - there is no sound, whatsoever,
   associated with the images our Animator.class is displaying.

   Additionaly, when we visit the http://java.sun.com page, the illustrated
   coffee cup/saucer and steam animate on BOTH Platform ONE and Platform TWO
   without issue.  We presume the java.sun.com page is using a variation of
   the Animator.class applet, also.

   Why is it that the Animator.class applet works as intended on Platform
   ONE without issue, yet on Platform TWO (laptop) the same Animator.class 
   fails to initialize?  Why does the Animator applet fail to initialize 
   when we remove the Soundblaster-16 drivers from Platform ONE?  What
   setting on Platform TWO (laptop) are we overlooking?
