Exception trying to start the JRE Control Panel

I've run into some persistent problem with seemingly any version of the JRE on my WinXP system. Whenever I try to start the control panel, either from the Windows Control Panel UI, or from the Java system tray icon, I get an exception error:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 365
     at com.sun.deploy.panel.UpdatePanel.setText(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.deploy.panel.UpdatePanel.actionPerformed(Unknown Source)
     at javax.swing.JComboBox.fireActionEvent(Unknown Source)
     at javax.swing.JComboBox.setSelectedItem(Unknown Source)

     at com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel.<init>(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel.main(Unknown Source)
This is what happens on the first attempt after the OS has booted, and subsequent attempts just result in nothing obvious happening (no control panel, no error, nothing).
I currently have JRE 1.6.0_07-b06 installed, but this seems to be happening with any JRE version I try. I had remnants of older JRE's under C:\Program Files\java, and I went through ensuring that each was removed (if I could get rid of it via Add/Remove Applications, I used that) until I was down to zero other than the MS JVM that is inherently part of Windows. I then installed the current Sun JRE and still have the problem. :-\ So not sure what it is the JRE control panel is trying to do here, nor how to fix it other than reinstalling the OS (and I'm not that desperate, but it really is annoying).
I figure it's probably something still hanging around in the Registry (<shudder!>) and poking around under HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft, I see keys for various old versions under the \Java Plug-in, \Java Runtime Environment, and \Java Web Start keys, most of which look like references to directories or files which no longer exist on the system. Any thoughts as to whether I can just safely delete these keys as a sanity check (jeez I wish Sun had steered clear of the Registry)? What I'm wondering is since the JRE control panel (when it works :-) shows you a list of installed JREs it found, I'm wondering if these bogus versions listed in the Registry are causing the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • How to open the JRE Control Panel from Firefox?

    I installed jdk1.5.7 and firefox and I also installed the jre plug-in in firefox. Now my firefox can display my applet now. But it still has a problem here. As we all know, in windows environment, when the applet has been loaded, a java control panel icon will display in the windows system tray area and I can open the control panel which I can monitor the output of my applet.
    My problem is how to do this in firefox environment? From where can I open the control panel window then I can monitor the output? By the way, I have opened the setting "Display the control panel" in advanced tab of jre's ControlPanel application.

    here is the easiest way to do what you asked...

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

    After reading this error message i decided to go to

    and click on it to see what happens. But then this error
    message pops up:

    I am using JRE 1.5.0-rc but it also happend when i was using
    "J2SE v 1.4.2_05 JRE"
    The only way i can access the Control Panel is when i run:

    and then: Edit > Preference ...
    And when i click on "Update Now" in the Control Panel
    i get this error message:

    I reinstalled several times, but it wont fix it.

    I had taken over a server from a long-gone tech and I had an identical problem upgrading from JRE 1.3.xxx to 1.4.xxx on Win2k SP4 server. Re-installing the old ver fixed the problem but I needed 1.4.xxx for a specific app.
    I found my problem to be related to PCAnywhere 10.5. I noticed the folder in the PATH, and saw that awhost.exe was running as a process when I ran Task Manager. (There was no other indication, ie, no icon in the lower right, that PCAnywhere was running. There were no records nor any need for PCAnywhere to be on this box anyhow).
    I removed PCAnywhere from the server and all Java related functions are working fine.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder

    I apparently moved or deleted my iCloud folder and keep getting this message Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder.  How do I do this?

    I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.
    Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.

  • How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
    I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
    Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

    OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
    When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
    Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
    __deployment.config__
    It should look like this inside:
    *#deployment.config*
    *#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
    *# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
    *# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
    *# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
    deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
    If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
    How?
    Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
    Add this line:
    deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
    Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
    Add these lines:
    deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
    deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
    Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
    #NoTrayIcon
    #RequireAdmin
    #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
    #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
    #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
    Func _JavaConfig()
         $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
         $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
         FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
    FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
         FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
         FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
         Sleep(10000)
         FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
         FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
    EndFunc
    _JavaConfig()
    Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

  • Problem with Office 2007 whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    Sadly I have a Win7 laptop as my work hack and am using Office 2007.  Outside of work I use iCloud to sync calenders between various iOS/OS X devices however whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows Plugin my email no longer loads. Outlook starts fine and just sits there with an empty inbox waiting for mail to load.  I can't even open the iCloud Panel from within Control Panel either to set preferences!
    Unistalling the iCloud plug-in resolves this but I really want to sync my iCloud calender with Outlook and can't see any other way to do it, plus it worked before and then just stopped.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    I tired everything that was suggested in the forum.  Tried IE and firefox to no avail. When I tried computers in stores both worked.  A friend of mine who has the 32 bit setup got it to work. Several folks have stated it is the compatability issue with 64 bit.  As a last resort, I loaded safari on my home computer, and yep, it works.  Go figure, apple product.

  • Markers in the Effect Controls Panel

    I'm up to page 165 of the Premiere 6 manual, trying to understand markers, and it says:
    Create markers in the Effect Controls panel
    In the Effect Controls panel, you can view all of the markers that you created in the Timeline panel. You can also add markers to your sequence to designate where you would like to place effects and see the markers as you work in the Effect Controls panel. In addition, you can create and manipulate markers directly in the Effect Controls panel.
    1. Drag the playhead to the place where you want to create a marker.
    2. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) in the timeline ruler:
    In Premiere Pro CS5.5, and earlier, choose Set Sequence Marker, and then choose the type of marker you want to set.
    In Premiere Pro CS6, choose Add Marker, or press the M key.
    I follow those instructions to the best of my ability, and nothing appears in the Effect Controls Panel. The previous three paragraphs are labelled as CS5.5 and earlier. I'm wondering if this paragraph should also have been labelled as CS5.5 and earlier.
    In CS6, do markers appear in the Effect Controls panel? If they do, how do you get them to appear?

    Thanks Jeff. My Effect Controls timeline was hidden. I don't remember it even being there, but I suppose it must have been at some stage.
    Now, another Marker matter. At the bottom of page 165 it states:
    "Move a marker
    Do one of the following:
    To move a clip marker in a clip that’s in a sequence, open the clip in the Source Monitor and drag the Marker icon in the Source Monitor’s time ruler. (You can’t manipulate clip markers in the Timeline panel)."
    This is what I've done:
    In the Source Monitor I set up a marker for a particular clip. Three things happen.
    An empty grey Marker appears above the Timeline in the Source Monitor (that Marker disappears if I move the Playhead).
    Two green Markers appeared inside the clip in the Sequence Panel (those Markers stay put).
    The Marker details appear in the Marker Panel.
    I can cause the Marker to move if I change the In and Out points in the Marker Panel, but I cannot "drag the Marker icon in the Source Monitor’s time ruler." I can't see any Marker, except the empty grey one.

  • Where can i find the icoud control panel for windows vista

    I need to back up my iphone and cannot find the software for the icloud control panel for windows vista --- only for windows 7 and 8.
    Where can I find this as Ineed to back upp my phone before an appointment tomorrow to replace my battery.
    Thanks for your help

    Here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1687.
    If you're trying to back up your phone to iCloud, you don't do this on your computer.  You have to do it using wifi.  First go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, tap Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup on at the bottom.  Then, to manually start a backup right away, tap Back Up Now at the bottom.  Connect it to your charger as the first backup will take some time to complete.  (Subsequent backups will be much faster as they only back up changed files.)
    After that, just connect it to wifi and your charger and lock the screen when you go to bed at night.  It will automatically back up daily.

  • How do i remove the settings and preferences of the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had problems with my Office 365 (Outlook 2013) and making it work with iCloud. I repaired the install of my office 2013, but the iCloud Control Panel keeps giving me an error as it thinks the icloud integration for Outlook 2013 is still installed....which it isnt.
    I cannot revert to the setting i had with only Photostream active.
    The only solution was to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel. I tried deleting some files from users->roaming->apple, which looked like preference files. But after reinstalling iCloud Control Panel, it immediately opened the old setting which it remembered somehow and uninstalling didnt deletet, stating the faulty Office connection is active...which it isnt.
    Pity i cant even now use photostream, to have my images on my desktop. I know i should buy a mac..where you can jus simply delete preference files from the user library. But does anyone know how to really delete every install history of the iCloud Control Panel on a pc. So i can do a clean install and start using photostream again
    Any help is much appreciated

    thank you for taking the time to reply to my issue. was there something i did that caused this to happen and if so, can i undo it? a second problem has now surfaced; i cannot get my firefox to load. i tried the suggestion in an article on this site i.e., to bring up the Task Manager and end the process for firefox.exe so i can uninstall/reinstall the firefox application. this does not work for me. HELP! i'd much rather use firefox than explorer.
