'How to fix Java VM WebConnect Error?

How do you fix this error, "A Java Virtual Machine is requrired to use WebConnect applets.". Java is installed and works fine at the java test page. For this applet it's recommended that you are running Java 6u30 and using Internet Explorer. This was not an issue until moving to Windows 8, it ran perfectly in Windows 7. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I thought I might add that this is an OpenConnect applet.

Java 8 update 31 and higher doesn't like WebConnect's TLS certificate. If you go in to the Java control panel, set Signed Code Certificate Revocation Check and TLS Certificate Revocation Check to Do Not Check (Not recommended), hit apply, launch the WebConnect applet so Java caches it, and then turn the certificate checks back on it should work.
