Guest Magsmom Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Don't know where to start looking for answsers so I am starting here. I have recently been having a lot of problems with getting those nasty little red "x"s instead of pictures or graphics in e mails or in online games etc. One game site support page article indicated it might be a problem with my Java Runtime program and suggested I might not have the latest version. In checking my computer, I find that I do have program files for Java listed but they don't seem to be working. When I go to my Control Panel and double click on the Java Icon, it tells me that I am missing a registry key. I know I should probably be looking for answers on the Java website, but honestly, even though I am considered to be more than a novice with computers, they are way over my head. Can someone give me some simple and easy to follow advice in this matter? I am running XP, SP2 with IE 7.0
Guest Richard Eagle Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 Re: Java Question Magsmom, you cannot view applets in either OE or Windows Mail unless you have MS JVM installed. Support for MS JVM ended Dec 31, 2007 and I would definitely NOT install it. See this link: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/default.mspx If you have MS JVM and want to uninstall it, I've found this website to be useful: http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/java.php The manual uninstall method should work okay for you. You should be able to view applets in any webpage if you have Sun JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed. You can install it from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp I would first uninstall any older versions of Sun JRE in add/remove programs before installing the newer version of Sun JRE.

Guest Magsmom Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Re: Java Question Richard: Thanks for your help. I was able to successfully delete all of the previous versions of Java that was on my Add/remove program list and I successfully downloaded the newest updated version of Java - BUT:- I am still getting the little red X's instead of pictures. Example: Yahoo has an online card game that I used to play by the name of "Addiction". It is a Gamehouse game. Now when I go to Yahoo>games>card>Addiction>play now: All I get is a big blank page with the little red x in it. I am running Windows Live One Care Antivirus, firewall etc. suite and have my internet options settings set for default medium security and privacy. Is there a setting in these internet options settings that could be causing these lttle red x's?

Guest Richard Eagle Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Re: Java Question You're very welcome. I went to yahoo.com > games > card > Addiction Solitaire and it displayed correctly and the java game worked fine for me with Sun JRE only installed. Does the applet on this page: http://www.anfyteam.com work okay for you? If not, does it work for you in firefox (if you have firefox)? It sounds like your default medium security and privacy settings should be okay. You could compare them against these: http://richard-and-michaela.com?xp_ie7_oe6_settings Also, you may want to try this with the browser windows closed: Go to 'Control Panel' > 'Java Control Panel' > 'Advanced' tab > 'Default Java for browsers' section and uncheck 'Microsoft Internet Explorer', apply the change and close the Java Control Panel. Then delete the TIF and open IE and go here: http://www.anfyteam.com Of course the applet won't be working. Next, close IE, delete the TIF and go back to the Java Control Panel and check 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' apply the change, etc. Then open IE again and go back to the anfy webpage and hopefully the applet will work fine and all applets will work fine in IE with Sun JRE only installed. I ran into this problem some time ago (running IE6, not IE7) with the red-x showing instead of the applet image and I finally stumbled into the above through trial and error to fix it.

Guest Magsmom Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Re: Java Question Richard: Sorry I didn't get back to you with feedback sooner. The last month was kind of wild so I have just gotten around to following up on this problem. Here is where it stands now: The applet on http://www.anfyteam.com worked fine with the IE7 but I still get the little red X's on the Yahoo game site. I followed your instructions to check my settings on ie against the link you gave me, and after making sure all my settings were consistant with yours, it will would not work. I had installed Firefox some time ago but had not gotten around to checking it out, so I tried it. No Problem opening the Yahoo games with Firefox browser. I use Office Outlook, not OE so I did not go through those procedures. I'm a little unclear about part of your instructions to go to my Java through control panel. You said: "Then delete the TIF and open IE and go here:". What TIF am I supposed to delete? Also, since my last posting about this problem, iWin downloaded and installed a new game manager update, and now I am getting the little red x's in the game listing. I also keep getting messages about script errors and a message that I need to download and install Macromedia Flash Player (which I was pretty sure I already had), but when I click on the supplied link, I get a message that "one or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed, then another script error, but I did get the download page for the Adobe Flash Player and I was not able to get it downloaded correctly. I am going to try again while I wait to hear back from you. I really appreciate your help with this. It is driving me crazy. "Richard Eagle" wrote: > You're very welcome.

Guest Richard Eagle Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Java Question Magsmom, if the anfy applet works for you then I don't know why the game applet won't. They all work fine for me on both XP SP3 and Vista HP SP1 with the latest Sun JRE installed. I guess you could uninstall and reinstall Java and see if that helps. Also, I always uninstall any previous version of Sun JRE through add/remove programs before installing the latest version. Didn't know you weren't using OE. The TIF is the Temporary Internet Files. Don't know why flash doesn't work for you. Works fine here in both XP and Vista. You can see here if it's installed: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ Here's some troubleshooting info: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19166 Some people have had to uninstall: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157 ....and then reinstall flash to get it to work. I don't know what else to suggest. Good luck with it. Richard "Magsmom" <Magsmom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:10CB31D0-6A7F-4155-BFFC-E33B73811DBD@microsoft.com...

You said: "Then delete the TIF and open IE > and go here:". What TIF am I supposed to delete? There are several ways to delete Temporary Internet Files (aka browser cache). (And this might solve your problem.) Here's one way: 1. Close IE. 2. Right-click IE icon and select Properties. 3. Click the Delete button in the Browsing history section of the General tab. In the Delete browsing hostory window, delete the following: Temporary Internet Files Cookies Here's another way: Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup As a rule, you only need to check the Temporary Internet Files and Temporary files boxes. Then click OK. By the way, deleting browser cache should be done regularly to help improve performance.
Guest Magsmom Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Java Question Richard: Duh! I had a senior moment. I should have known TIF meant Temporary Internet files. I checked my internet options settings against yours, item by item, and discovered the following irregularities: On the Security Tab: 1. I have an item named .NET Framework-reliant components, which is checked for "High Safety". 2. I have an item for Java VM: Java Permission, checked for "High Safety" On the Advanced Tab: 1. Between my section on Java Sun & Multimedia Services, I have a section for Microsoft VM, which you do not have. It has 3 items: Java Console enabled is checked Java Logging enabled is not checked JIT Compiler for VM enabled is checked 2. Your Phishing filter for Automatic Website checking is turned off, mine was turned off. My Java console indicates that I have Java Standard Version 6 Do you see anything there that could be a problem?

Guest Richard Eagle Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Java Question Magsmom, from your reply it looks like you have MS JVM installed. I advise everyone to uninstall it as it is no longer supported: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/default.mspx The manual uninstall method here: http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/java.php ....should work okay for you. Applets should work fine with Sun JRE only installed. Richard "Magsmom" <Magsmom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9936C5C1-12D8-47E6-AD75-48208CD99EDB@microsoft.com... Richard: Duh! I had a senior moment. I should have known TIF meant Temporary Internet files. I checked my internet options settings against yours, item by item, and discovered the following irregularities: On the Security Tab: 1. I have an item named .NET Framework-reliant components, which is checked for "High Safety". 2. I have an item for Java VM: Java Permission, checked for "High Safety" On the Advanced Tab: 1. Between my section on Java Sun & Multimedia Services, I have a section for Microsoft VM, which you do not have. It has 3 items: Java Console enabled is checked Java Logging enabled is not checked JIT Compiler for VM enabled is checked 2. Your Phishing filter for Automatic Website checking is turned off, mine was turned off. My Java console indicates that I have Java Standard Version 6 Do you see anything there that could be a problem?

Scroll down to "Scripting", near the bottom, and make sure "Scripting of Java Applets" is "Enabled". Or just "Reset to Medium", click Reset, as a test. Restart IE before checking if it worked. Look in Advanced tab section that "Java (Sun)" is checked too. -- Joe =o)

In case you missed my other post... Did you ever empty your browser cache? There are several ways to delete Temporary Internet Files (aka browser cache). (And this might solve your problem.) Here's one way: 1. Close IE. 2. Right-click IE icon and select Properties. 3. Click the Delete button in the Browsing history section of the General tab. In the Delete browsing hostory window, delete the following: Temporary Internet Files Cookies Here's another way: Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup As a rule, you only need to check the Temporary Internet Files and Temporary files boxes. Then click OK. By the way, deleting browser cache should be done regularly to help improve performance.

It looks like _I_ need to update it!) Apparently, the current version is Version 6, Update 6. Is this what you have? Also, I always prefer downloading the complete ("Offline") package. If you go to: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp you will see a link for "Windows XP/Vista/2000/2003 Offline" (filesize: 15.18 MB -- clicking on this will allow you to save the installation file to your hard drive). Also note the "Instructions" link on the same line. Finally, there is a link to verify: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp 2. Did you ever resolve the "missing a registry key: issue mentioned in your first post? 3. Do you have Flash installed *and* enabled? Go here: "Test Adobe Shockwave & Flash Players" http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ Even if Flash is installed, you might have a setting that makes it seem as if it is not installed. For example, SpywareBlaster has a setting called Kill Flash.
Guest Magsmom Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Re: Java Question Daave: Yep- Had the latest version of Java, (Version 6, Update 6) and the latest version of Shockwave Player. Whatever the problem was that caused me to get the message about a missing registry key must have worked itself out because I do not get it anymore since I went to the Java site to verify that I had the latest update etc. "Daave" wrote: > "Magsmom" <Magsmom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:5F833CC9-F79A-45DF-8ADB-4FFF4244DC46@microsoft.com... > > > "Daave" wrote: > > > >> Magsmom wrote: > >> > Dear Jo: > >> > Yep!

Shockwave Player is not important. However, Flash Player *is*. And to repeat: Even if Flash is installed, you might have a setting that makes it seem as if it is not installed. For example, SpywareBlaster has a setting called Kill Flash. If my Flash is disabled, I am not able to access Yahoo chess. I need to close the browser, empty the browser cache, re-enable Flash, and restart the browser!

Where would I look for these > settings? Do you have SpywareBlaster? If so, in the Tools section there is a tab called Flash Killer. Also, you may need to allow popups. Make sure your browser and other programs aren't blocking popups (at least when you go to that particular site that requires Java and perhaps Flash). You mentioned earlier you run Windows Live One Care. I am not familiar with it. But see if that program has any settings you need to alter.
