Help--JRE 5.0 Plugin not working with IE6

I'm trying to set up the Sun JRE plugin on my XP machine, and Internet Explorer will not use it. I have IE checked in the Sun Java Console, and Java (Sun) is checked in Internet Options. MS VM console is turned off. It doesn't seem to matter whether the VM jit compiler is on or not, it doesn't work either way.
If I use any java tester, it says my browser is using 1.1.4 from Microsoft. If I try to bring up the Sun Java Console from IE, it says that I need to set Sun Java as my default java interpreter though Internet Options/Advanced. As I said, I've already done that.
The Java SDK 5.0 appletviewer works just fine. Does anyone have any idea why MSIE is not using the Sun JRE plugin?

I seem to have fixed this one, although I'm not quite sure what happened. I continued struggling with it yesterday. I uninstalled JDK 5.0 and reinstalled a few times, both on and offline methods. Then I tried to install 1.4.0. Nothing seemed to help, so I tried just installing the 5.0 JRE (not JDK). Even that didn't work. I still couldn't get the console to come up in IE6, and clicking on the option said that I needed to make Sun Java the default java on the system, which I had already done.
I finally gave up and installed Firefox on the machine. and I got the 1.5 JRE set up on Firefox. Then, when I went back to IE, all of a sudden it worked. I still can't call the console from IE (says not default), but I can get it from the java icon in the system tray (the icon didn't even show up there before I installed Firefox). IE now says it's using Java 1.5 from Sun when I go to javatester.org, and it will read my compiled 1.5 applets.
Needless to say, I'm still scratching my head on this one--maybe Internet Explorer has a "Me too" subroutine that kicks in and fixes things when another browser is installed. In any case, Firefox can now claim to be a Sun Java panacea--at least to me.

  • Sample plugins not working with Netscape 7 on Solaris 8.

    I'm trying to build a scriptable plugin for deployment into Netscape 7
    and Solaris 8.
    I finally got mozilla 1.4.1 built under Solaris 8 and deployed the
    plugin from modules/plugin/tools/sdk/samples/simple. By deployed I
    mean that I copied the libnpsimple.so file to the netscape plugin
    directory and copied the .xpt files to the netscape components
    directory. I even removed the xpti.dat file from the netscape
    components directory so that it will get regenerated when netscape 7
    is started.
    I started up netscape 7 and checked about plugins and I find the
    simple plugin in the list of enabled plugins. So far, so good.
    I open the test.html file in modules/plugin/tools/sdk/samples/simple
    into the browser and click on the version button and I get an alert
    box that displays "undefined". Also, if I reload the page netscape
    crashes.
    I also tried the scriptable sample plugin with essentially the same
    result.
    Does anyone know what I need to do to get a sample plugin to work with
    Netscape 7 on Solaris 8.
    Some help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello
    I am pretty sure they know about this issue and software companies must not hear what the people say. For me it is logic that they watch what happen on the software market and try to adapt own products as soon as possible.
    This issue with IE8 is known and soon or later the updated version will be offered on download page but the question is: when?
    I cannot understand why they wait so long time. OK, to fix some issue and testing procedure can take a days but IE8 is not on the market from yesterday.
    Lets see how long it will be necessary for AuthenTec to fix this issue.

  • Jre plugin not working with IE5.5

    System
    Windows2000 version 5
    IE 5.5
    Netscape 4.08 & 6.1
    jdk1.3.1
    jre1.3.1
    My applet loads fine with netscape 4.08 & 6.1, but as soon as I try it with IE 5.5 it hangs unless i put the mouse pointer over a little black square that appears on the web page. This starts a download of the plugin cab file from sun's site. Then only a little portion of my applet is displayed on the top left corner. Funny thing is it worked fine before I installed jre1.3.1. before that it would download a cab file from sun. I've checked the CLASSPATH and PATH and nothing points to anything other than 1.3.1 of jre. Plus the fact that it works with netscape, even 6.1. Generally its netscape which has the problems. any ideas?

    You might try the beta plugin available for download from the developer connection. It allows the Sun JRE to run in IE6 and Netscape6 with just a html page with the <APPLET> tag. So far it seems to be working okay.

  • Thunar-archive-plugin not working with Ark

    I'm trying to use thunar and ark together.
    Drag'n'drop from Ark to Thunar does not work. (Drag'n'drop from Thunar to Ark does however work.)

    I don't know what sort of black magic occurred (my guess is mime database update when I reinstalled chrome), but now thunar detects ark properly and tries to use it. It does however not work unless I fix the extraction commands in /usr/lib/xfce4/thunar-archive-plugin/ark.tap.
    create)
    exec ark --add "$@" -f.zip
    extract-here)
    exec ark --batch --destination "$folder" --autosubfolder "$@"
    extract-to)
    exec ark --batch --dialog --destination "$folder" "$@"
    (And that is old, like really 2 years? and this is not fixed yet? I also had to find out on my own how to fix the "create archive thing, added to the above for anyone who needs it", I mailed XFCE support/feedback about this since I'm too lazy to create an account to commit to their git.)
    I still don't have drag'n'drop working though. Created a thread on it here.

  • Phonegap plugins not work with edge animate CC 2014

    I have been using edge animate to create mobile apps with phonegap and until now everything was ok.
    Now I updated edge (edge animate CC 2014.1 release) and when I build in phonegap, the plugins (e.g Dialogs) does not work.
    Is there incompatibility between edge animate CC 2014 and phonegap or is something missing ?

    Thank you very much for the responses.  The url: http://www.edgedocks.com/content/2014/10/edge-commons-update-animate-20141 resolved the problem.  It was a simple fix.

  • Adobe Connect Pro 8 Plugin not working with Moodle 2.0

    Hello, Last year we integrated Adobe Connect Pro into our installation of Moodle 2.0. On Friday our Adobe Connect Pro account was upgraded to 8 so we installed the new plugin and now it does not work in Moodle.
    Is there any news on why the plugin is broken and when it will be fixed? We use Adobe Connect Pro several times a week so we need it working ASAP.

    As mentioned on the main product page ( http://www.adobe.com/education/products/adobeconnect.html  ), many of the integrations with LMS systems like Moodle are developed entirely by Adobe partners. In the case of Moodle, here is the partner that created the integration. They will be responsible for any updates.

    Problem solved. After closing the perspectives I had open and reopening

  • Please help... jam packs not working with logic express 8

    my jam packs do not work. i go to the library tab, open one of the jam packs category, "Symphony Orchestra" for example. i choose an instrument folder ("strings" for example), and then an instrument. a window pops up and says "File not found... Result code = -43". What does this mean? What can i do to fix it?
    You my also know that the jam packs work fine in Garage Band.

    Hi,
    on a UNIX based system, every file has it's own set of permissions who own it, who can read it or who can write to it. Sometimes, things get corrupted (often during an install or update, when administrator rights are used or not used....)
    However: Open the Harddisk Utility in the Applications/Utilities Folder. Select your Harddisk and klick on "repair permissions". Wait for some minutes (takes some time).
    You should do this not only now, but before and after every major update/change to your system.
    The next step, if this doesn't work, would be to manually locate the files EXS24 is missing, but for this better ask someone in the Logic Pro forum.

  • ASA Rdp plugin not working with Java 7 Update 55

    When accessing the clientless VPN on an ASA 5510 with Java 7 Update 51, the RDP and VNC plugins work exactly as they should. But now that Java 7 Update 55 is out, the plugins once again are useless, as they throw Java security exceptions about "attempted to open a sandboxed jar <applet url here> as Trusted-Only".
    This happens even with the most up to date RDP and VNC plugins available on the Cisco website. Is anyone else having these problems, and know of any solutions or if Cisco is working on this problem at all?
    Thanks

    I am also getting following error:
