The 'not inited' error from the Java applet is rare and can be caused by several issues.

The most common cause is a firewall or proxy server that restricts the Java files from downloading from the GatherPlace servers.
This can usually be corrected by adding the GatherPlace servers to the trusted list by the IT department.

For an example of a Java console that was blocked by a Blue Coat server, see below.

Another cause is the possibility that there was only a partial download of the Java files.
This is usually corrected by closing all of the browser windows and trying to join the meeting again.
In some cases you may also need to restart the computer to reload the Java files.

It is also possible that the installation of Java has been corrupted and needs to be replaced.
To get the latest version of Java for Windows, see this page: http://www.gatherplace.com/java
Mac users can run Software Update from the Apple menu to update Java.
