Help me im stupid

i've posted this in a few forums, so im sorry if you've already read this.
i have windows xp and the version of internet explorer that comes with it, and one day, everything java just stopped working, e.g. rollover buttons on websites, and functions like popup windows(this is a problem as i have a popup kind of thing on my website where the enter screen triggers a smaller window to open with my website (http://twcvideos.tk))
i havent had a look to see if java applets work yet. is there something i might have done like disabled java or uninstalled it?
p.s. i downloaded the java runtime environment incase that was something to do with it (please excuse my newbieness if this has no difference)

TWC--
I'm a bit of a greenhorn with this Java stuff, too, so forgive me if this answer isn't perfect.
First, did the problems happen after upgrading to Windows XP? Or was it just one of those magical things that happened out of nowhere?
One thing I noticed after upgrading to XP was that there is no longer a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed by default. So, there were a few instances where I ran into Java applets not working, and such.
One thing to check in Explorer is under Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab. Check the Microsoft VM to see if the Java options are enabled.
I hope this helps.

  • Need help bcuz of stupid itunes wont open? i have answer no jokes ^_^

    hello im like all of yall...who cant open the itunes. This is a problem to all people using ipods (all version). I myself did this method which i will show you today.
    read the instrution carefully..i am not responsible for your mistakes
    Your problem is this..your installation is having problems.
    Here is how to fix..
    First:
    download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    download and save (don't install them yet) copies of the QuickTime standalone installer and the iTunes installer to your hard drive:
    Quicktime 7.1.5 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes ..here is url :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    iTunes 7.1.0.59 Installer..url :http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    uninstall phase
    use Windows CleanUp to clear the installation configuration information for both your existing iTunes and QuickTime.
    now use the following document as a guide to manual removal of any leftover program files:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    reboot the PC
    reinstall phase
    make sure any antivirus and antispyware applications are switched off prior to the reinstalls.
    reinstall the QT 7.1.5 standalone. reboot the PC
    reinstall iTunes. reboot the PC.
    if the installs went through okay, try opening itunes again. does it launch this time?
    Need more help ask me at [email protected]
    i will answer your questions or you can post it here
    glad helping yall..

    You got it almost correct but left out a couple steps.
    1) I would suggest cleaning out your temp folder. Its possible that the installer you launched is picking up temp files from the bad installation.
    2) Run a registry cleaner.
    So before your reinstall phase I'd append...
    4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
    5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes,msi
    6. Clean out your temp folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
    a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
    b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
    Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
    7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
    8. Reboot your PC.

  • Help avert my stupidity with Javascript in JSC

    I'm trying to evaluate the value of a checkbox in the onClick event.<p>
    I have the following code in the onClick event:<p>
    alert('mouse up event'); <p>
    if document.getElementByID("form1:checkbox1").checked {<p>
        alert('box is checked');<p>
    } else {<p>
        alert('box is not checked');<p>

    Can someone tell me what's wrong ?
    TIA
    Jim

    Hi,
    Try adding the paranthesis for the condition after the if key word as follows:
    if(document.getElementById('form1:checkBox1').checked){
    alert("box is checked");
    Hope that helps

  • Help...Stupid Selection Tool Question

    I'm not seeing the dots when using the selection tool and am unable to select sections of objects. I don't know what to do.

    I figured it out myself.  I was in "Object Drawing Mode" rather than "Merge Drawing Mode". A simple CTRL + B solved my issue.
    Hope this helps anyone who has a similar issue...

  • Old games on new Computer..........Help! IM Stupid!!!

    I recently purchased a G5 imac. I cant play my old games (Diablo 2, Heroes, Age of Empires) on Mac os X because it says it cant find Mac OS 9.1. I dont think I should have to buy the old software and I dont know what to do. It doesnt make sense that the developers didn't account for this. Please give me help, Thanx!

    think I lost all that software
    Steffan, the DVD's or CD's that come with your computer should be treated like gold. There are many, many good reasons for ALWAYS keeping them in a safe place. Chances are you will need them for troubleshooting purposes one day. They will even increase the resale value of your Mac if should ever want to sell it (just ask any regular in the iMac G3 forum what they think about people buying older imacs that DON'T come with these disks.)
    If you really have lost them then you should be able to get a replacement set from Apple, by quoting your model and serial number , etc. You will have to pay a fee for them, but it is well worth doing.
    Cheers

  • Please help with a stupid question on networing 2 macs

    I have a MacPro and a MAC book pro with and airport n base station. In the past, the books for my G4 and G5 told me how to network the macs with peer to peer so I can access any drive of one machine from the other.
    I can't find out how to do that. Can you send me to a white paper. I don't have the G4 and G5 anymore, and can see the drop boxes on both new macs but I can't access them. I don't have permission. Have the setup procedures changed?
    I also want to be able to connect my same MPB to a Power Mac at work.
    I know this is rudimentary, but in Snow Leopard I am having trouble finding how to do it. I didn't spend a lot of time on leopard, but spent three years on tiger.
    Cheers.

    Here's some help:

    O.k. I've been talked into redoing my works website ... &

    thought I'd attempt css. I've read forums etc. saying make the

    > I've read forums etc. saying make the container 100%

    Surely you haven't read them carefully enough if this is what
    you remember
    from them.
    But - is there a question in your post? What is it that is
    going wrong for
    you?
    Could it be that this is what you want? (I removed the
    unnecessary and
    redundant CSS, added a few float clearing elements and some
    paragraphs to
    the text).

    … i would have thought there was a better way to save each edited file ,so i could work and burn each of them easily
    you see me confused ...
    Procedure in iM usually is:
    • import video
    • select portion of import
    • add to Project
    • burn Project
    • add another selection to another Project ... repeat
    Plan B)
    • import video to iMovie
    • drag ALL to a Project
    • erase unwanted part
    • burn
    • 'undo' in Project (=erased conetnt back again)
    • erase another part, burn again… repeat
    ... so, I'm not sure, what you mean by 'better way' …
    I couldn't think of any 'better' way?

         public String sendGreekNumber (){
             return message;// sends main method the greek number analysis.
    }and all it does is run directly through the program and pops up with a box that contains my message string instance?
    what am i doing wrong here?

              }is the problem in there somewhere?Yes, you never call the Factoring method of your GreekNumber object.
    Plus you are creating two instances of GreekNumber, why I don't know. There is no need to do this.

  • Help, did a STUPID thing

    So, I plugged in my old US G3 in Italy without sliding the voltage switch. Result: popping sound and nasty burning smell.
    Is it totally fried or just a fuse to replace?
    I'm an idiot.

    It may just be a fuse, but the burning smell does not bode well. The smell may be the enamelled wire on a transformer. To get to the fuses, the power supply must be removed from the Mac and dis-assembled. Once a few minutes have gone by, there should be no hazardous voltages inside, as long as you do not plug it in.
    Used power supplies for the desktop G3 are one of the most plentiful used parts available. In the US, eBay always has several available. It may be easier to get another one, swap them, then attempt the repair. (Or skip the repair and be done.)
    Life is too short for self-abuse. Everyone makes mistakes. Stop kicking yourself and use it as a learning experience. When you have fixed this -- by whatever method -- you will show yourself that you are resourceful, flexible, and clever.

  • PLEASE HELP - Stupidly deleted "Apple Application Support" Unable to Access Itunes Library (5,000+ songs at stake) = :(

    PLEASE HELP - I have stupidly deleted the apple application support off my computer, and I am unable to launch my Itunes..It advises me to download itunes again, however i am TERRIFIED to do so because I have over 5,000 songs in my Library and no doubt my entire collection will inevitably be wiped.PLEASE HELP..I am almost in tears. I have attempted searching google for "Apple Application" Support downloads however it directs me to the apple website, and to no avail I cannot find anything to aid me...any responses would be greatly appreciated..!!!!!!!!!!

    Reinstall iTunes from Apple's website. Reinstalling iTunes does not wipe your library, but you should have a backup regardless.

    Okay here's some feedback first of all your
    explanation of what you are trying to do and what
    happens is hardly readable because you don't use
    sentences and people will prolly just skim over it
    just for that reason and right they are to continue
    you should be congratulated for using code tags that
    does help a lot now your code would be a lot more
    readable if you followed standard conventions like
    not starting class names with lowercase and not
    starting variable names like fields with an uppercase
    such as JColor and finally you should not have your
    frame be its own actionlistener you should create a
    separate (anonymous inner class) instance of a
    listener for each component when you have done all
    this (and your problem isn't fixed yet) please come
    back you're welcome.well im sorry u had a hard time reading it next time i will type slower for you OK i asked for help not your stupid comments and i would like to say thank you KAJ moving the ifs out worked thank you

  • Need help installing WRT54G v4

    Okay, this is getting really obnoxious. My warranty ran out on this thing a while back and so they won't help me on the phone, which I think is BS to begin with since I paid for this product I don't think there should be a limit on when I can get help getting the stupid thing to work. But anyways.. I'm trying to set it up for my PC and PS3 this is a new PC and I haven't broken this router out in years, but last time I did it worked fine on all the computers in the house. Well, I plugged it in, hooked up the internet, all the lights are on and seem to be indicating everything's working fine. Yet, I get no internet connection right off the bat, but I figured that's normal. Yet when I go through the install program, and it reaches stage 7 'check the router's access'. It gives me a message of something like 'cannot send' or something of that nature and tells me I have to input the information manually which meant I had to call my ISP and all, once that was done and I got that set up there came the stage after that, which was a new stage 1, configure wireless settings. Had me hold down the cisco logo till it turned white and flashing then click next. Well, when I went and clicked next, it brought up the progress bar and it stayed at zero then gave some sorta error. I don't think it's sending or receiving any information whatsoever to or from my computer, could anyone help?

    let me know the isp details whether cable or DSL connection .. also , connect the computer directly to the modem and check the ip add on the computer ...
    revert back with the same ..
