I would really suggest that you rewrite your applet into a real java application. This will make it a _lot_ less dependant on browsers (in fact you dont need them at all). By going away from being an applet you will also face a lot less security limits and gain a lot of more freedom on how to make the program.

You can still achieve the nice feature of "click a link to play" by using java web start. It will also do nice things like install the program into start menus and keeping it up2date.

Switching a java applet into a real program isn't much trouble, andyou gain a lot of stability and a much nicer looking program IMO.
