I don't quite know when this happened but everytime my browsers (either IE or Firefox) hit a web page with a java plug in Vista turns to Vista basic. When I leave the page Aero returns. I presume this is a Java issue. anybody else with a similar issue?
View 4 RepliesDo you need to run a Java application and hate how every time you run it the Aero Glass interface reverts to the non-glass look? This is caused by the way the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) communicates with the display adapter. In short, it does not want to share the 3D surface the desktop is painted on so Windows has to revert to the old method of painting the desktop and turn of Aero Glass.
The only way to fix this is to fix the JRE and Sun has done just that. Java users need to upgrade their JRE to release 6 update 2....
How do i back the date up on windows vista home basic?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhy does Win 7 want to fall back to a "basic" colour scheme? When I start to watch an AVI file in Win Media player it almost immediately pops a message to say that perfromance is slow.... running low on mem for Aero...suggest I go to basic display Why would it do that? I have Win 7, a damn good sys - with 6Gb of mem. I did read that it caused some incompatability with progs - but I using an AVI in MS media player... so surely that should be compatible? I have breakdown of how file was encoded if people interested - but lets keep simple for now... Why would MS media player make Win7 do that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed java for the 64 bits version of vista on vista home premium 64 bits.
No problem so it seems.
But the 32 bit ie is complaining about no java installed.
Should I install 32 bits java as well.
Some applications are complaining about no java if I by accident browse with ie8 32 bits iso 64 bits.
64 bits version is installed and working fine.
But for some sites you need flash and java.
Flash seems not to be available yet for 64 bits and so I have to turn to 32 bits.
But 2 java versions on one machine?
I have a big problem with windows vista. I really want to get the aero theme working but I am failing at it. I have windows vista home premium 32bit.

i really want to get the stylish vista with the aero fine theme
I've got an Sony VGN-BX197XP laptop that I've upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate. Since then I've encountered some strange display-related issues:
1) I could only boot into Aero about 50% of the time. The rest of the time I forced onto the Standard theme with no Aero option. Since installing Vista SP1 I can't get Aero at all.
2) When not running in Aero mode I can't get the Windows Media Player to play video files, nor get a Perfomance Index.
3) If I plug in an external monitor I can't get a picture on the laptop monitor but I *do* get a picture on the external monitor and it runs Aero 100% of the time. It will also play video files and give me a performance index.
this file is a .bat file that opens up 14 websites. It no longer works!

i run the internet through my wifi, the service is provided by the apartment complex to everyone. it is an incredibly strong signal for the whole building, and i am right beneath the source so i have always had just an amazing speed on my internet. the other day, while chatting on facebook of all places, something happened (what i do not know) and the firefox crashed. since that moment the internet has been chugging. and i mean chugging! it takes almost 2min just to load a page. (this is not consistent however some pages load faster) downloading speeds have all but stopped (i don't know how to check for just how fast they are going) i can't even load up Internet videos now its so slow.
i tried several fixes for the problem, but being a noob i think i screwed it up worse because its even slower than before. first i used uniblue registry cleaner and speed upper thing. they just screwed up my computer even worse and it was taking forever just to open a file folder let along load a webpage. i did a system restore to undue that damage. i tried resetting the autotuning. that did not work i even did an ipconfig/renew release thing. that almost did me in. i finally got the internet running again. still slow.
I left it on running for several days on top of a cooling pad fan to avoid any overheating. There was basically no activity or nothing running except BitTorrent downloading some files over wireless LAN. I have Avast antivirus installed. All possible drivers updates/service packs were downloaded and installed. The notebook runs on the latest BIOS version from HP. Suddenly, the computer beeped loudly a few times and the screen showed white colour patches everywhere that covered up a large portion of the screen, then got frozen completely. The only thing I could do was to switch it off by pressing the power button 6 seconds. After booting it up again, I couldn't see much information in the event viewer that tells me what went wrong.
Another horror story: I had a few tabs opened on IE7. I went to a website with java applet for chat room. Once I clicked the Java applet, IE7 suddenly crashed/disappeared. No error reporting or anything - it just took place so suddenly. I could not repeat this problem as it seems intermittent.It does make me feel that after a year's wait, I still have no faith in Windows' reliability. I wonder how many more centuries will they take to create a rock solid high performing computer for home/business?

A few days ago out of the blue my upload speed went down to practically zero. I know it's my computer because the other computers on the network can still upload fine. When I run a speed test the download comes back fine (~1275kbps on a 1536kbps connection) but the upload either doesn't finish or comes back at something like 10kbps. My connection for upload is 800kbps. I use qwest dsl.

Version 6 update 16. I have IE8 on a vista 32bit os. Java says to make sure java is enabled for internet explorer in java control panel.I go to java control panel, advanced tab, default for java browsers and the entry for microsoft internet explorer is greyed out, but box does show a check mark.This doesn't seem normal to me. I should beable to check and uncheck that box. I think that java control panel is not seeing IE8, therefore, nada on the pogo. see attached screen shot.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThis morning, the Java Updater showed the Version 6 Update 7 is available. I tried to install it on-line through Firefox 3. The installer got to the point where it stated "Extracting Installer," whereupon it basically stopped doing anything. I let it run for perhaps fifteen minutes to no avail. Process Explorer showed that zipper.exe was running, Comodo Firewall had asked for permissions for zipper.exe to do things, which I allowed, but nothing was installed, other than the files which the Java installer downloaded. I killed the zipper.exe process, downloaded the off-line Java installer, had the same problem as with the on-line version.
Following Java's on-line instructions, I turned off the firewall (after turning off the modem), killed Avast!, removed all immunizations in Spybot, turned off SuperAntiSpyware, reran the off-line installer, same problem. Java said to remove older versions and try again; removed Update 6; all that did was to leave me with no Java, as 7 still would not install. Per Java's instructions, ran the MS Windows Installer Cleanup program; Java not listed there, nor does it show in Control Panel.....................
I don't know is this the right place to ask..Question is isit necessary to have my Java update? What is the purpose of Java actually?

On control panel and remove program utility I can see the update 6 11 but when I try to uninstall then a box pops up telling me that it can't proceed as the source file can't be located (jre 1.6.0_11-c-l.msi). I think this is why the later version won't install because it looks for the older version first?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI noticed that Java applets were not displaying when I visited a website. I checked the test on the Java website and that didn't work. Java said that my version was out of date. It said I had version 6 update 15 and should update to 16. I did that and tried the test again still didn't work. I looked in my installed programs list and saw that as well as update 16 I had SE Runtime Environment 6 installed. I uninstalled update 16, revisited Java which said I had 1.0.6 installed and the test worked. Hooray! I installed update 16 again and it worked! Double hooray! I went to bed happy. Next day applets wren't working again. Visited Java,test wasn't working. Tried uninstalling both Javas and deleting the Java directory and installed update 16. Now any site with Java causes IE8 to display ''Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website", Firefox just closes. I did a system restore to before I uninstalled both Javas in the hope that at least the browser wouldn't crash on encountering Java, but no luck.
