Change info displayed on splash screen Help-- About

When I open NI Multisim and click on Help-->About, the splash screen displays the following information in the upper left hand corner of the splash screen:
test
Benjamin Franklin Institute
Serial#
How/where do I change the word "test" so that it doesn't appear on all the classroom PCs? Where is the source of the identifying information that appers on the splash screen?
Thanks.

Hello,
In this case “test” is making reference to the Register Owner. This information is requested during the installation process. You will be able to modify this information by modifying a key in the Windows Registry. Please refer to the link below for more information.

Help displaying a splash screen.

Hi Guys.
I need help displaying a splash screen as an advertisment or something before i have my main application run.
Here is the code i wrote (it works as if it were a seperate application)

        ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon("src/1.jpg");
          JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(new JLabel(ii));
                JProgressBar Bar = new JProgressBar();
          getContentPane().add(jsp);
          setSize(853,303);
          centerScreen();
          setVisible(true);
               try
                            Thread.sleep(20000);
                           dispose();
               catch(Exception IE)
        private void centerScreen()
                Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
                int x = (int) ((d.getWidth() - getWidth()) / 2);
          int y = (int) ((d.getHeight() - getHeight()) / 2);
          setLocation(x, (y-100));
       public static void main(String [] args)
             new
}

And there's a problem with that code, is there?
I don't really feel like running the code to find out what that problem might be, so let me just point out that splash screens are built into Java 6. Adding a splash screen to your program requires nothing more than using a command-line argument to point at the image file.

Displaying a Splash Screen

Hi:
I have an application which takes sometime to load and decided to display a splash screen. The splash screen is a simple JFrame with a JPanel within. The splash screen is displaying but it�s not being painted at all. A grey box with the splash screen size is displayed.
Following is the code from where I�m calling both the splash screen and the application.
    private static void startApplication() {
        SplashScreen splashScreen = new SplashScreen();
        System.out.println("Loading...");
        splashScreen.setUndecorated(true);
        splashScreen.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        splashScreen.pack();
        splashScreen.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        splashScreen.setVisible(true);
        try {
            Application application = new Application();
            splashScreen.setCompleted(0.2);
            System.out.println("Loading Database...");
            application.initDatabase();
            System.out.println("Loading of Database Complete...");
            splashScreen.setCompleted(0.5);
            application.initActions();
            splashScreen.setCompleted(0.6);
            application.initToolBar();
            splashScreen.setCompleted(0.7);
            application.initMenuBar();
            splashScreen.setCompleted(0.8);
            application.initComponents();
            splashScreen.setCompleted(0.9);
            application.setDefaultCloseOperation(Application.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
            application.setTitle("Password Keeper");
            application.setUndecorated(false);
            application.pack();
            application.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            splashScreen.setCompleted(1);
            application.setVisible(true);
        }catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
            System.err.println("Failed to load the required classes.");
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(splashScreen, "Failed to load the required classes.", "Loading Application", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        }catch(SQLException e){
            System.err.println("Failed to load the required classes.");
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(splashScreen, "An error occured while connecting with the database.", "Loading Application", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        System.out.println("Application Started...");
        splashScreen.setVisible(false);
        splashScreen.dispose();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                startApplication();
    }The problem started to show up when the application was included. This works fine when the splash screen is displayed by itself.

A grey box with the splash screen size is displayed.would indicate you have your "application which takes sometime to load" in the
EDT, which will prevent painting until loading finishes
use a separate thread to load the data

          this.dispose();
}Maybe some code are in spanish, but you can easily translate to english.

How to display different Splash Screen depending on the Locale?

Hi,
I have a splash screen which is working fine.
I want to display different spalsh screen depending on the locale the user has.
Is this possible.
I can display different Title,Description and the text of the short-cut icon on desktop and startup Menu based on the locale by mentioning it in the JNLP and altering my browser settings. I am not able to use the icon and splash screen corresponding to the specified locale. How to do this?
EX:
<information>
<title> In english</title>
<description> In english</description>
<shortcut online="true">

<desktop/>
<menu submenu="My Project in English language"/>
</shortcut>
*<icon kind="shortcut" href="images/icon_english.gif"/>
<icon kind="splash" href="images/splash_english.jpg"/>*

</information>
<information locale="nl-NL">
<title> In Dutch</title>
<description>In Dutch</description>
<shortcut online="true">

<desktop/>
<menu submenu="My Project in Dutch language"/>
</shortcut>
*<icon kind="shortcut" href="images/icon_dutch.gif"/>
<icon kind="splash" href="images/splash_dutch.jpg"/>*
</information>
*Now here i am not getting the splash_dutch screen for the locale "nl-NL"(Dutch) and i am getting splash_english screen.
Can we acheive this?*

No display or splash screen

Compaq Presario sr5703wm, Windows Vista 32-bit,
Repalced fuse in power supply. Removed password by jumper on motherboard. Booted fine 6-7 times. Next boot had no display on monitor- no splash screen, nothing. Checked for VGA connections -OK. Checked monitor on another computer-OK. When computer turned on all fans running CD/DVD light blinks momentarily, hard drive spins up. Attempted to do recovery using disc and CD/DVD drive does not run. Have tried reset Bios with no resolution.
HELP PLEASE! Thank you

Hello,
I understand that your pc will not boot but you do hear the fans and also see lights on the cd/dvd drive blinking momentarily. I appreciate you already testing out the monitor to confirm it works with another pc.
When you attempted to run the recovery using the disc did the monitor show any images?
You also mentioned resetting the bios. Did the bios menu physically show up on the monitor or could you not see it on the screen? Also take a look at your keyboard and see if there lights that flash in somewhat of a pattern. (ie. caps lock, num lock)
I am thinking there might be an issue with the graphics card which I’m, showing is integrated to the motherboard.
I have inserted a link that will provide you with more steps you try.
I recommend you start with step 5 because the majority of the steps above you have already done. (See below)
Step 5: Reseat loose internal components
If the computer case was recently serviced or moved, a card, cable, memory module, or processor may have become loose. When this happens, the computer might make a beeping sound when turned on. Use the following steps to check for loose components:
Let me know if this helps you. If you have any questions feel free to let us know.

Problem with displaying a splash screen twice

I have a splash screen that displays while I am reading data from the recordstore, I use the same sceen when I am writing data back to the record store when the application exits.
The problem I am having is that the screen never appears the second time, I have tried to set it to null and then instantiate it again but it still does not appear. Can someone please give me some adivse as to why this might be happening. I am pretty sure it is some kind of race condition with the threads but I just cant seem to solve it. I am placing snipits of code below.
public class NetTools extends MIDlet implements CommandListener
public void startApp()
isPaused = false;
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
splash = new Splash();
splash.start();
settings = new Settings(this);
settings.start();
display.setCurrent(splash);
splash.StartTimer();
splash.setMsg("Loading Settings...");
settings.Load();
splash.setMsg("Loading Main App...");
splash.Dismiss();
showMainScreen();
splash = null;
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
splash = new Splash();
splash.start();
display.setCurrent(splash);
splash.setMsg("Saving Settings...");
//splash.Join();
//splash.StartTimer();
settings.Save();
//splash.Dismiss();
settings = null;
splash = null;
public class Settings implements Runnable
public void Load()
try
thread.yield();
public void Save()
try
thread.yield();
public class Splash extends Canvas implements Runnable
public void StartTimer()
start_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
repaint();
serviceRepaints();
public void Dismiss()
while ((start_time+WAIT_TIME)>System.currentTimeMillis())
repaint();
I cannot seem to figure out how to make the thread for the splash overtake the UI thread in the destroyApp(), does anybody have any ideas.

A grey box with the splash screen size is displayed.would indicate you have your "application which takes sometime to load" in the
EDT, which will prevent painting until loading finishes
use a separate thread to load the data

Nothing displays on Splash Screen

Adobe DW5. The splash screen shows up but is blank - white. I reinstalled the Adobe Suite and still nothing. After opening, Splash screen shows but it is white. I did some research and some people noted flash wasn't installed because that is probably what plays it but I have flash installed, shockwave.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Try updating BIOS to the latest version and check if it helps. Else, it seems there is some hardware issue involved. I strongly suggest you to contact our technical support for assistance.

PRE crash and now stuck at splash screen - HELP!!

I was working on a small project (5 mins) a couple of sound tracks and was moving one to different location and PRE crashed - now when I open the program up the splash screen is blurred and I can't select anything except the 8.01 update and those things - HELP - project due in 4 hours!!

Eric
With regard to the original desktop icon which targets Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe
a. if you do not have the program open via Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and you have closed the program that got opened to the Welcome Screen with Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, and if you go back to the Task Manager/Processes,
DO YOU SEE ANY INSTANCES OF "ADOBE PREMIERE ELEM,,," IN THE LIST OF PROCESSES THERE? If the answer is no, then I do not think that you have to worry unless you have a compelling need for the Welcome Screen. Just my point of view, but the only reasons for it being seem to be:
a. For Adobe to monitor (track) your activities
b. Quick access to photoshop.com
c. Be kept up to date with Adobe Ads
You should have full control of your Premiere Elements projects using Adobe Premiere Elements.exe to open the program without the Welcome Screen. I just wanted to make sure that there is no evidence that you have 2 instances of the program being open at the same time.
If you look at the processes opening using Process Explorer Sysinternals, you will note
a. if you click on the icon that targets Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe, the first process that opens is Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe, followed by Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and what looks like PhotoshopServer.exe. After Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and PhotoshopServer.exe appear, the Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe disappears from the scene leaving the other 2 processes as the running processes.
b. if you click on the icon that targets Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe never appears, just direct to Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and PhotoshopServer.exe which remain as the running processes.
I am not sure what happened to your Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe file. But I do not see that you need it to move forward in your projects. I would be curious to know the whys, but is it worth it on your time schedule?

Main program start before splash screen, help

hi:
below is the splash screen code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.Random;
class Splash extends JWindow {
     public Splash(String filename, Frame f, int waitTime) {
          super(f);
          JLabel l = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(filename));
          getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          pack();
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          Dimension labelSize = l.getPreferredSize();
          setLocation(screenSize.width / 2 - (labelSize.width / 2), screenSize.height / 2 - (labelSize.height / 2));
          addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                    setVisible(false);
                    dispose();
          final int pause = waitTime;
          final Runnable closerRunner = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    setVisible(false);
                    dispose();
          Runnable waitRunner = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    try {
                         Thread.sleep(pause);
                         SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(closerRunner);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
                         // can catch InvocationTargetException
                         // can catch InterruptedException
          setVisible(true);
          Thread splashThread = new Thread(waitRunner, "SplashThread");
          splashThread.start();
below is the constructor that started the splash and the main:
public static void main(String args[])
PictureViewer PV = new PictureViewer();
standaloneApp = true;
splash Splash sw = new Splash("prestigestetho.gif",null, 5000);
the splash appear just fine, the problem is that it appears after
my main program appear first.
I try to shift the priority of splash, which is sw first and then PV,
in that case the splash screen appear first then PV, but this time PV
stay in front of sw makes it totally not viewable.
is there any method to make splash screen appear first and on the screen you can see the process of main program starting up (for example
: loading this ...., loading that.....) something like acrobat reader's
startup screen, and then splash screen disappear and then main program
pop up.

okay, I got it, it's under SwingSet2.java the related code is as follow:
// Used only if swingset is an application
private JFrame frame = null;
private JWindow splashScreen = null;
// The tab pane that holds the demo
private JTabbedPane tabbedPane = null;

Hi, i have a iMac PC it has a letter box home page and i would like to change it to a full screen, HELP pleasell

Hi, my name is Cathy Pack and i am in a pickle, i have an i-Mac OS X version10.5.8, 1.25ghz power G4, every thing is fine except for my home screen it is in letterbox forme and i would like to put it in full screen, the screen is long and narrow instead of short and wide, Please HELP, Cathy Pack

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Take the resolution ratios and use a 16x9 ratio to avoid the letterboxing if you have a 17" diagonal display. Take the 4:3 ratios if you have a 15" diagonal screen.

Hi guys need Help with Displaying Splash Screen?!!?

Hi Guys.
Sorry for the last incomplete post my mistake!
I need help displaying a splash screen as an advertisment or something before i have my main application run.
Here is the code i wrote (it works as if it were a seperate application)

    public SplashScreen()
        int UpTime = 20000;
        Start(UpTime);
    public void Start(int UpTime)
        ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon("src/1.jpg");
          JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(new JLabel(ii));
                JProgressBar Bar = new JProgressBar();
          getContentPane().add(jsp);
          setSize(853,303);
          centerScreen();
          setVisible(true);
               try
                            Thread.sleep(20000);
                           dispose();

          int y = (int) ((d.getHeight() - getHeight()) / 2);
          setLocation(x, (y-100));
       public static void main(String [] args)
             new SplashScreen();
}but i now have a problem as i already have a main application done as i wrote this seperately. I now need to combine the two together. So what i did was in my Main Application wrote:
Splash_Screen SS = new Splash_Screen();it then runs my Splash Screen class which i re-wrote to look as such:

          int y = (int) ((d.getHeight() - getHeight()) / 2);
          setLocation(x, (y-100));
}it obviously runs the default constructor which then runs the other methods in the class but it doesn't seem to show can anybody help me to find out whats wrong? It seems to be there just before the main application launches but only for a split second. And when i am waiting while the thread is sleeping the area i have defined the Content pane for he cursor goes to the loading icon! I don't know if this makes any sence to you but if you can help me it would be most apreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Encephalopathic
why would it work if i put it in it's own application surely it wouldn't be caused by this thread.sleep?? everything after it is in fact put to sleep. In its "own" application, nothing happens after it is displayed.
if it is the problem then could you please give me some code to add quickly to test??

Display splash screen while downloading applet jar file

I've tried to search the forums, but most results I get are how to display a splash screen while the classes are loading. Unfortunately, the classes do not begin loading until after the jar file has been downloaded. How does one go about showing as splash screen as the jar file containing the classes is downloaded?
Thanks for the help!

"Java 5 provides a capability in this area"- Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control we are stuck on java 1.4.x.
"How you do that is your problem."- I'm so glad I can count on the helpful java community. Thanks.
Since it appears that "warnerja" is discusted by my question (mabye had a bad day) and is leaving me out in the cold, does anyone have any ideas on how I can implement her/his suggestion. I can break my jar file into multiple seperate jars and as each one loads I can update a progress bar. Unfortunately, I do not know where to begin with this code wise nor do I know if this is the best solution to this problem. I would think this to be a common problem.
Thanks for your help!

Web start won't display splash screen

Hi, I am using the following .jnlp file.. The problem I am having is that web start will not display the splash screen specified below. It displays the icon fine, but not the splash screen. I cannot find an answer, can anyone help?

I can see no reason why this wouldn't work. Can you try looking at the splash.xml file in the "splash" directory in the cache ?
the file should contain an entry for your program, pointing to your splash file.

Problem in displaying splash screen..

Hi..
First of all my apology to repost the question as i was asked to post it here for the answer.I've developed a desktop application which has a splash screen.I'm using netbeans 6.0.Now, i am able to view the splash screen if i 'build' and 'run' the application in the IDE.But when i run the jar file i am not able to see the splash screen.
This is how i've put the splash screen for my application.In project->properties->run->in VM options : splash.gif. Please help to display the splash screen when i run just the jar file.
Thank you

I don't understand what the way you're doing. It's a Netbeans option??
Currently I'm developing a Swing app and I have a splash window. The way I've done it is creating a sublcass of JWindow, adding a panel, a JLabel and setting an icon.
Like this:
public class InitSplash extends JWindow {
     public InitSplash(Frame owner) throws HeadlessException {
          super(owner);
          initGUI();
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          Dimension labelSize = jLabel.getPreferredSize();
          setLocation(screenSize.width / 2 - (labelSize.width / 2),
                    screenSize.height / 2 - (labelSize.height / 2));
     private void initGUI() {
          try {
                    this.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(110, 150));
                    this.setLocationByPlatform(true);
                    jPanel1 = new JPanel();
                    getContentPane().add(jPanel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                    jPanel1.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255,255,255));
                    jPanel1.setBorder(new LineBorder(new java.awt.Color(0,0,0), 2, false));
                         jLabel = new JLabel();
                         jPanel1.add(jLabel);
                         jLabel
                                   .setIcon(new ImageIcon(
                                             getClass()
                                                       .getClassLoader()
                                                       .getResource(
                                                                 "com/ttt/common/gui/graphics/logo-transparente.gif")));
                         msgLabel = new JLabel();
                         jPanel1.add(msgLabel);
                         msgLabel.setText("Loading...");
                         msgLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma",1,12));
                         msgLabel.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(102, 25));
                         msgLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
               pack();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     }Is this what you are trying?
