Can you check in your browser that the applet examples page works ?

http://www.jalview.org/examples/applets.html

Open the 'Displays a features file on the alignment' jalview appet, and
try to open a link from the PFAM annotation.

A problem that we have noticed recently is that popup-blockers
(specifically, on windows vista) do not inform you when they block the
'showURL' call that an applet makes when it tries to open a URL in the
browser. So check the popup-blocker settings for your site.
