title: “Your security settings have blocked a local application from running” Java 8
body: <p>I am trying to run a small applet in my Chrome window, but am getting the error message.</p>
  
  <p>I do see all the replies telling me to change my security to medium, but that option does not exist in version 8. So far several hours of googling and asking help from classmates has brought no progress.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone suggest something please?</p>
