I am unable to configure Java security settings using the Java Control Panel. With the latest Java update I can no longer run simple applets. Instructions say to reset security settings. All instructions refer to a slide bar in the Security tab. All I have is a pull down menu for certificates. Please help. I am using Windows 7.Java Control Panel version 7 update 5.

This problem has been identified by Oracle. You'll have to totally reinstall java uninstall the old conflicting versions.

with new versions of JRE, you don't have the security level slider (medium, high, very high) now instead you have a radio button for high and very high. Tu run your applet, it must have a proper manifest file:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Implementation-Title: some text
Implementation-Version: 1.1
Built-By: root
Application-Name: some text
Created-By: Apache Maven
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *.somedomain.com
Implementation-Vendor-Id: some text
Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_24
Permissions: all-permissions
Specification-Title: some text
Specification-Version: 1.1
Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver
Codebase: *

use:

jar cfm something.jar manifest.txt *

last but most important sign your applet using a certificate.

if you do all the above you should be able to run your applet in IE only as chrome and Firefox no longer support the Java browser plugin
