Chances are when you designed your app, you specified the place of
the image, say, e:\myimages\image.gif

So, when this applet is loaded from a web server by a web browser,
it won't let the browser access the local drive.

You may want to look at getImage().  You need to load the image
via a URL, ie http://myhost.com/images/web/image.gif, and create
an Image object.  That way, the applet will request the browser
to load the image over port 80 or whatever http port you are using,
and it will ask the web server to fetch and stream the image.
