Do you have URL's to the applets? So we can test/reproduce.
I'm using Firefox and applets just worked after installing it.
Did you enable Java in the settings?
Can you open the 'Java Console'? (Tools -> Web Development -> Java Console)
Set the debug level to 5 (or something else) and see what happens when you 
load the applet.
Does this applet work? http://java.sun.com/openstudio/applets/clock.html

BTW (and off-topic): My Mozilla crashes when I open the Java Console after 
the Applet is loaded, but everything is fine when I load the applet 
second. Error attached.

Greetings,

Ronald.
