Stuck at a Black Screen and Connecting on a vCloud console

On a computer running Windows 7 x64 SP1 Enterprise running Internet Explorer 11 browser, I had issues connecting to the console of Virtual Machines hosted by VMWare vCloud.

This was resolved by completing the following:

1. Adding the website to the Trusted Site list
2. Adding the website to Internet Explorer’s compatibility list
3. Updating Java on the workstation to the newest
