Applet requires page refresh

Hello,
I am relatively new to Java and have written an Applet which include Images,
but when my browser (IE6) loads the Applet, my GIFs are not displayed until
I refresh the page? What do I need to do?
The lines in question are:

public void init() {
WP = getImage(getCodeBase(),"WPawn.GIF");
....
}

and

if (pos[rw][cw]=='P') g.drawImage(WP, xOffset+c*50, yOffset+r*50+2,
null);

The program works fine once the page has been refreshed, but surely I
shouldn't have to refresh? Can anybody help?

Images load asynchronously.

Wait. See the ImageObserver interface or MediaTracker.
