Lost something needed for Java when I updated

Hello again.
I have just updated my ME system (2 years old) with all of the "critical" upgrades from MSN which included upgrades to Outlook and Explorer and about 15 security upgrades. Now the Java Apletes won't load when I try to play games. I went into Explorer and changed security settings to allow Java, even downloaded the newest Java from their site. Also tried turning my firewall off but no go. The games I play are on the Yahoo site and I went through their troubleshooting and adjusted my Exploreer properties to their recomendations. There is no pop up to indicate an error, the activity bar at the bottom of the screen changes to "done" but the applete never loads. Thanks in advance for any help.
