Isolate / sandbox java applet

Hello, I am new at Arch Linux and I only have some basic experience with linux in general so bear with me.
I want to isolate / sandbox a java applet running in firefox, but I can't figure out which way is the most simple and effective way to do it. I've heard and read a bit about SELinux, chroot and sandfox, thought I haven't used any of these yet. I want to sandbox this specific applet because of security and privacy issues to insure that the applet can't acces or write personal data.
I have also considered using a virtual machine, but I find that too inconvinient for this situation.
What would you recommend?
Thanks

JVM is a virtual machine. With a policy file you can just about restrict every resource you could want to for anything that run in the jvm.

Removing the 'Warning Java Applet' Status Bar

Hi,
I've written an applet that does not require access outside the sandbox so doesn't need signing. However, it pops up an instance of Window, and because it's not signed the window has a status bar across the bottom which says 'Warning Java Applet' or something similar depending on the browser. Is there any way to remove this status bar without signing the applet or changing the security settings of the browser. I guess it must be added to the window so maybe it's just a component that can be removed, but how?
Thanks in advance

Today the Security Warning sign appeared at the bottom of my computer screen - how do I get rid of it. I do have Java whose icon used to be in the lower right hand section of my screen - along with all the other icon programs that I have.
Now the icon is no longer down on the bottom right of the screen, but in the middle with a Security Warning -(the wording) next to the jave icon.
This is really annoying me - how can I get rid of it, and - why did it appear here?
Anxiously awaiting your reply.

How to activate Java Applets?

Hi,
I got some Java Applets that i try to run (again). Since Javas own security and firefox itself forbids to run Java without being activated by the user i thought i would be asked whether to activate java on my own site (local on the PC) or not. Although java is activated inside in the plugins-option menu and the correct installation of java is confirmed by java.com (test after the installation) my Java applets dont show up, not even a message saying "Applets are being blocked" or so.
In chrome i can simply activate the NPAPI in the settings and enable the flag and the applets work. Isnt there a function similar to this?
I would like to run Firefox portable on a CD to give to students. As the Java applets are being blocked i hoped to simply enable the corrosponding flag so prevent rewriting all the java applets.
Is there another developer plugin of some sort that i can pre-install into Firefox portable that does the job?
See blow for Versions of Windows, Firefox. Java Version 8 Update 45 (Build 1.8.0_45-b14) latest version.
Kind regards,

Firefox allows Java Applet with elevated permissions

I ended up with a virus on Friday when I selected "View" on an HTML attachment from the GMail web interface. The attachment started up java and proceeded to install the malware "Desktop Security 2010" and make changes to my system startup. I'm wondering how this happened and how to prevent it. My java security settings (Java Control Panel->Security->Certificates->Trusted Certificates) only lists Akamai Technologies and JavaFX as trusted certificates. Shouldn't that mean that I get prompted if any one else signs an applet that tries to run outside the sandbox? What else do I need to do to make sure that NO java applets run with elevated permissions?
I've disabled java via an add-in in the meantime, but what do I need to do to secure my browser properly?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I selected "view" on a virus-infected email attachment in gmail

Хорошо. Am now able to enter Cyrillic font into my applet. HOWEVER, another issue remains: After pressing enter to process input, new window opens as expected with correct information displaying in window EXCEPT for drop-down menu bar that should display in green square of open window. http://www.lesbaileyev.com/Project/RFvstem.html I will open another suport question for this new development.

Safari 6.0.4 - java applet keeps running when not in use?

Mac OS X 10.7.5
Safari 6.0.4
all the latest updates (software) as of 4/27/13
Oracle's Java r 21 also installed (latest)
website: http://javatester.org/version.html
NOTE: I have seen this on more than 1 computer that the 1st time running the Java applet (after clicking on the plugin missing placeholder, the app appears to begin loading, but 'hangs' as far as UI is concerned, although it is using CPU and accessing the disk the whole time.
Refreshing the page then allows you to see the Oracle java version displayed in the pink box
However, what I notice is that if you enter a new URL and go there, blowing away the Java applet page, guess what's still running in the background (via Activity Monitor) "Java Applet - javatester.org", occupying memory and using some small CPU.
this seems like ridiculously bad behavior in general. Has anyone else seen similar issues? is this related to an outstanding memory leak (bigger problem) in Safari? Any way to get java to behave if you aren't possibly using an applet?
could it be lazy cleanup/garbage collection in Safari? meaning it might vanish from the process list at some indeterminate point in the future? closing the tab it was running on (before a new URL was loaded) outright doesn't seem to kill it.

I have not used Onyx recently, although i use a number of other utils, and reset safari periodically.
It seems that it may be a delayed garbage collection issue. If I leave it for a bit and then come back it seems that the process is disappearing. If I can isolate anything more reliably I'll post again, but for now I'm going to stop worrying about it.
It was lingering long enough I thought maybe was a leak, but i guess I'm just not patient enough...
Also, I haven't reliably reproduced the high CPU cycle / hung applet condition on the 1st load. that may be something that shouldn't be going on (regarding the new security around java probably) but low pain point once I reload the page and tell safari to let the app run all the time.
so just to recap
- looks like the applet persistence in the process table is a delayed disposal issue that eventually gets done
- hanging applet on 1st load post security patch may be something, but hitting cmd-R is a lot more satisfying than devoting a lot of time to tracking that down right now
thanks for your suggestion

Question about Java Applet Jar file signing.

These questions pertain to Java 6 Standard Edition 1.6.0_22-b04 and later.
I have gone through the Oracle Java Tutorial for generate public and private key information
to sign a jar file, and how to sign the jar itself, all at
[http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html|http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html]
, and seek some clarification on the following related questions:
-In order to "escape" the java applet sandbox that exists around the client's
copy of the applet running in their web browser, ie.
(something forbidden by default), is verification of the signed applet enough, or is a policy file required
to stipulate these details?
-using the policytool policy file generator, what do I need to add under "Principals"
(if anything) when dealing with a Java applet? Are Codebase and SignedBy simply author information?
-If I choose to use a java.security.Permission subclass object set up in equivalent fashion within the Applet,
which class within the Applet jar do I instantiate that object in? Does it need to be mentioned
in the applet's jar Manifest.MF file?
-Is the "keystore database" a java language service/process which runs in
the Server's memory and is simply accessed and started by default
by the client verifier program (appletview/web browser)?
-The public key certificate file (*.cer) is put in the webserver directory holding
the Applet jar file (ie. Apache Tomcat, for example).
-Presumably, the web browser detects the signed jar
and certificate file, and provides the browser pop up menu asking the user
about a new, non recognised certificate (initially).
Is this so?
-With this being the case, can the applet now escape
the sandbox, be it with or without the stipulated
policy permissions?

Is this so?No. It is the JVM that determines when to pop the confirmation dialog.

the sandbox, ..Assuming the end-user OK's the trust prompt, yes.
..be it with or without the stipulated

How To Sign a Java Applet
The purpose of this document is to document the steps required to sign and use an
applet using a self-signed cert or CA authorized in the JDK 1.3 plugin.
The original 9 steps of this process were posted by user irene67 on suns message forum:
http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=63&thread=132769
-----begin irene67's original message -----
These steps describe the creation of a self-signed applet. This is useful for testing purposes. For use of public reachable applets, there will be needed a "real" certificate issued by an authority like VeriSign or Thawte. (See step 10 - no user will import and trust a self-signed applet from an unkown developer).
The applet needs to run in the plugin, as only the plugin is platform- and browser-independent. And without this indepence, it makes no sense to use java...
1. Create your code for the applet as usual.
It is not necessary to set any permissions or use security managers in
the code.
2. Install JDK 1.3
Path for use of the following commands: [jdk 1.3 path]\bin\
(commands are keytool, jar, jarsigner)
Password for the keystore is any password. Only Sun knows why...
perhaps ;-)
3. Generate key: keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -alias tstkey
Enter keystore password: *******
What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]: Your Name
What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]: YourUnit
What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]: YourOrg
What is the name of your City or Locality?
[Unknown]: YourCity
What is the name of your State or Province?
[Unknown]: YS
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
[Unknown]: US
Is CN=Your Name, OU=YourUnit, O=YourOrg, L=YourCity, ST=YS, C=US
correct?
[no]: yes
(wait...)
Enter key password for tstkey
(RETURN if same as keystore password):
(press [enter])
4. Export key: keytool -export -alias tstkey -file tstcert.crt
Enter keystore password: *******
Certificate stored in file tstcert.crt
5. Create JAR: jar cvf tst.jar tst.class
Add all classes used in your project by typing the classnames in the
same line.
added manifest
adding: tst.class(in = 849) (out= 536)(deflated 36%)
6. Verify JAR: jar tvf tst.jar

849 Thu Jul 27 12:49:04 GMT+02:00 2000 tst.class

9. Create HTML-File for use of the Applet by the Sun Plugin 1.3
(recommended to use HTML Converter Version 1.3)
10. (Omitted See Below)
-----end irene67's original message -----
To make the plug-in work for any browser you have two options with the JDK 1.3 plugin.
1) Is to export a cert request using the key tool and send it to a CA verification source like verisign.
When the reponse comes back, import it into the keystore overwriting the original cert for the generated key.
To export request:
keytool -certreg -alias tstkey -file tstcert.req
To import response:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias tstkey -file careply.crt
An applet signed with a cert that has been verified by a CA source will automatically be recognized by the plugin.
2) For development or otherwise, you may want to just use your self-signed certificate.
In that case, the JDK 1.3 plugin will recognize all certs that have a root cert located in the JDK 1.3 cacerts keystore.
This means you can import your test certificate into this keystore and have the plugin recognize your jars when you sign them.
To import self-signed certificate into the cacerts keystore, change directory to where the JDK plugin key store is located.
For JDK 1.3.0_02: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\security
For JDK 1.3.1: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\security
Import your self-signed cert into the cacerts keystore:
keytool -import -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit -file tstcert.crt
(the password is literally 'changeit')
Now, regardless of which method you use, the applet should be recognized as coming from a signed jar. The user can choose to activate it if he / she chooses. If your applet uses classes from multiple jars, for example Apache's Xerce's parser, you will need to sign those jars as well to allow them to execute in the client's brower. Otherwise, only the classes coming from the signed jar will work with the java.security.AllPermission setting and all other classes from unsigned jars will run in the sandbox.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified by the -keystore command in all keytool and jarsigner operations, the keystore file used is named '.keystore' in the user's home directory.
The first time any keystore is accessed (including the default) it will be created and secured with the first password given by the user. There is no way to figure out the password if you forget it, but you can delete the default file and recreate it if necessary. For most operations, using the -keystore command is safer to keep from cluttering or messing up your default keystore.

Java Applet Question

I was wondering how I would go about saving the 'state' of a java applet. For instance if I created a drawing program, how would i create a feature so the user could save their drawing to work on later?

Most probably it'll have to be persisted on your server. Sandboxing dictates that an applet can't have access to a local filesystem, and although this can be gotten around, ask yourself "would I like to install a piece of software from an unknown source that can access my hard drive through my web browser?". Personally, I wouldn't

IE 8 Java Applet Crashing

Hi,
We are using IE 7 and currently we have upgraded to IE 8. But when trying the applications in IE 8, we are facing serious of problems like slowness, page crashing and Java applets crashing. The same pages is working weel on IE 7 but in IE 8 these pages and Java applets are crashing and showing script error as "Object doesn't support this method" for applets.
How to solve this? We dont have option to degrade the browser.
Regards,
Senthil

I'm with Christian - the error message would indicate you are attempting to address the applet in javascript before it is created and available for scripting. The html body onload or script outside functions that calls either the getQueryObject() or getGridObject() methods.
The fact that it worked in IE7 but not in IE8 could mean that timing that worked before is no longer the case, as would also occur if internet speeds changed between client and server, or perhaps a different java plug in. Inconsistencies and pages that work in some cases but not others typically point at the javascript.
A test would be to isolate the suspect applet objects and put them individually on their own on a web page(s) to see if the new browser renders them properly.

Portal SSO to a Java Applet

Hello,
I have a customer that is looking to set up SSO with an application that uses a Java Applet as its login screen to the app.
Any advice on how this can be set up. SSO via External Application doesn't seem to work since it doesn't use a GET or POST method.
Thank You!
Padmini

An applet (with normal security setup) can only open up socket connections to the host from whence the applet came. Sounds like your applet is trying to talk to port 5000 on the client's box. Can't do that, unless:
a) The client's box is the server (which is the case under your first scenario)
b) The applet is signed or otherwise set up to be "trusted" that it doesn't contain harmful code.
The security policy is there for a reason. I, for example, wouldn't want to stumble across some rogue applet out on the internet which then tries to open up socket connections to things on my corporate intranet or local machine -- unless I KNEW it was going to do that (I "trust" it).

Can I save as pdf when printing from a Java applet on a webpage in Safari?

I am trying to use a webpage that is running a Java applet. A dialog comes up that asks me, "Do you want to run this application?" The dialog also says, "This application will run with limited access that is intended to protect your computer and personal information." I select "Run". The applet generates an image I want to print. There is a "Print" button on the applet. I select "Print". A Security Warning dialog comes up that says, "The applet has requested access to the printer. Do you want to allow this action?" I select "OK". The Print dialog comes up. I choose the PDF button in the lower left corner. I choose "Save as PDF...". A second Print dialog comes up. I input a title in the Save As box. I choose Desktop in the Where box. I do not change anything else and select the "Save" button. A dialog appears that says, "Print Error while printing." There is an icon with paper, a pencil, a ruler and a paintbrush on the dialog.
Is this an issue with Apple and Java security? Does "run with limited access" mean I can't print and save as PDF? Should I upgrade to Mavericks? It seems like others have not been happy with Mavericks and have had problems saving as PDF with Mavericks. How do I let Apple know about this error? The error dialog is useless.
I am on a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.2. My Java version is 7 update 51.
What other information can I provide to help solve the problem (if it can be solved)?
Thank you for your help!

Correction I would like to save as PDF/A-1b

Problem Launching Java Applet with Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_01

Hello out there:
I recently installed j2re-1.4.2_01 on my home computer but have been unable to access Web sites emmploying JAva applets. The following is an email exchange with Jeff Hall of Lowell Observatory, manager of an educational site hosted by Lowell, trying to resolve my problem. The messages are better understood if read in reverse order.
I'm hoping that someone will recognize the source of my problem and can recommmend a solution. I would appreciate any help offered.
Thanks,
Mike Coucke
Hi Jeff:
Well, I guess the problem lies with me somewhere. Here's my answer/status to your questions/suggestions:
1) I'm using MS Windows Me version 4.90.3000
2) I do have the directory C:\Windows\.jpi_cache\jar\, but the only thing in it is an empty folder labeled "1.0". The file LP.jar does not exist anywhere on my hard drive.
3) I tried several game sites that utilized Java applets and got the same results: the Java cup in the upper left corner followed a few seconds later by the red "X". So, evidently the problem is somewhere on my end.
I'm going to post our email exchanges in a Java Users Forum managed by Sun to see if anyone out there can solve my problem. However, if you have any more suggestions, I'll be glad to try them.
Thanks for the help.

Mike,
Rats! What version of Windows are you using? It's a little strange to
see the user directory set to C:\Windows; if you're using XP, I'd expect
it to be something like C:\Documents and Settings\Mike Coucke. In any
event, the output that is of concern is these two lines:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: LPRemote.class
Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: proxy
It looks like your browser is not finding our server's IP when it comes
time to download the necessary Java code.
LPRemote.class is the fundamental code that runs LOPARC, and your
browser should be downloading it automatically when you click connect.
LPRemote.class is stored along with a bunch of other classes in a file
called "LP.jar" that you download from our server. So, if you go to C:
in Windows Explorer and do a file search for LP.jar, you should find it.
On my machine, it's stored in a directory called ".jpi_cache\jar\" in my
user home directory. Let me know if you have this file, or the
jpi-cache directory.
One other thing you might try is going to a different site that you know
uses Java applets -- I think some of the online game rooms at Yahoo use
Java. See if other sites that use Java load correctly. Then we'll know
if it's our server specifically, or a more general problem on your end.

Hello Jeff:
I still have the Java "blues". I followed your instructions, but am still unable to launch a LOPARC session. After an initial failure, I uninstalled all three Java versions I had (1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2), then reinstalled 1.4.2_01 from the Sun website.
Now, when I try to launch LOPARC, I initially get a blank window with the Java cup in the upper left corner. After about 20 seconds, the cup changes to a red "X". During those 20 seconds, the following appear in the IE message bar at the bottom of the window: "Applet LPRemote notinited" (their spelling) which changes to "Loading Java Applet Failed..." when the red "X" appears.
Following is a copy of the log from my Java Console during all of this:

Hi Mike,
Try it now. I think this problem has arisen because Sun just
released a new version of the Plug-in (1.4.2), and when we released the
public beta of LOPARC, only one relevant version (1.4.0) was available
and the LOPARC code was written to look for that by default. I have
just recoded the relevant routines so they should now cause your browser
to simply pick up the latest 1.4 version of the Plug-in you have
installed, whatever it is. I "broke" Java on my machine to replicate
your problem, and the code I inserted today did fix it. Hopefully it
will have the same effect for you. I am running IE 6 and plugin
1.4.2_01 (as accessed via Tools->Sun Java Console).
One broader problem: some (non-LOPARC-specific) users on the Sun
forums have reported the "JRE collision" you are seeing when multiple
versions of the Plug-in are installed on the same machine. So if the
fix I made to our code doesn't work, one option would be to uninstall
all Java components from your computer and do a fresh install of the
latest runtime environment.
Let me know how/if this works. Thanks for the feedback and for your
patience.
Best regards,
Jeff Hall

Hello Jeff:
So far, I have been unable to launch a LOPARC session. I repeatedly
get the following error message:
"Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: LPRemote.class"
My browser is MS Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106 Initially I was
using Java Plug-In version 1.4.1 and received the error message. I went
to the Sun website and downloaded/installed Java Plug-In version 1.4.2
and still get the message.
Before I try to launch LOPARC, I can select Tools->Sun Java Console from
IE's pull down menu to check my Java Plug-In version. When I try to
launch LOPARC, I get the following message:
"Applet(s) in this HTML page requires a version of Java different from
the one the browser is currently using. In order to run the applet(s)
in this HTML page, a new browser session is required, press 'Yes' to
start a new browser session." If I select 'No', I get the following
message: "Java Plug-in detected JRE collission"
If I select 'Yes', a new browser window opens and then I get the first
message above.
Can you help?

Dear Michael Coucke:
Thank you for registering with Lowell Observatory's online education
site. We hope you enjoy using it and visit regularly as we continue to
expand its features and capabilities. This is a one-time welcoming
email.
For your records, your user ID is xxxxx, and your password is #########.
You'll need to supply these each time you log in.
This site gives you access to research-grade equipment including a 16"
telescope, CCD detector, and image processing software. Our online
archive of data is now available 24/7. The telescope will be opening to
our onsite users in May, and on select nights to the Internet at large
in June.
We have designed this site so you don't need a huge monitor or a
supercomputer to use it. All pages are viewable on screens running at
800x600 resolution or higher. To use LOPARC, you'll need a Java-enabled
browser with the Java 1.4 plug-in installed. If you don't have the
plug-in, you'll be prompted to download it the first time you attempt to
connect. This is an admittedly large (9 MB) but one-time-only download.
This site works correctly under Internet Explorer version 5 or higher.
If you use Netscape, you must be running version 6 or higher, and
display or applet behavior anomalies may occur.
If at any time you can't connect to our server, simply try again later.
We do experience several power outages each year, particularly during
Flagstaff's summer thunderstorm season. Our server is fully protected
and backed up, and can be quickly brought back on line, but any active
user sessions will be lost. Thanks for your patience during these
inevitable downtimes.
Your questions, comments, suggestions, and bug reports about this site
are always welcome. On behalf of the LOPARC development team, thanks
for signing up!

Hi Mike,
I see this in your logs:
Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_01
Using JRE version 1.4.2_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\WINDOWS
Proxy Configuration: Manual Configuration
Proxy: http=proxy,https=proxy,ftp=proxy,gopher=proxy
Proxy Overrides:
I just helped my Dad set up his computer with a new
cable modem, and had the situation where we couldn't
access any secure Web sites. The cable folks had us
disable the proxy. It looks like the error message is
saying it can't find your proxy server, and the logs
you posted say that you've decided to configure your
proxy manually, rather than using the settings from
IE (which is how mine is set up in the plugin
control panel.)
Could that be the problem?

I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Problem with java applet and array of arrays

hi!
i'm passing an array of arrays from java applet using
JSObject.getWindow(applet).call("jsFunction", array(array(), array()) );
in every other browser than safari 4.0.2 it's no problem to iterate over this array. in safari "array.length" is undefined. is such construction supported in safari's js engine?

Thanks for the answer but the problem is the type of object of method and how from pl/sql is posiblle to call.
The method waiting a ArrayofAlicIva, but if i define this object is not posible to set the object inside the array because the wsdl not have this functions.
I need to define array of objects but the object is inside is the diferent type of array.
If i Define the array of object correct to object inside, the method expect that the other array type.
Is a Deadlock ??
The solution in Java is Simple
AlicIva[] alicIva = new AlicIva[1];
alicIva[0]= new AlicIva();
alicIva[0].setId(Short.parseShort(1));
fedr[0].setIva(alicIva);
this is the method imported in java class to form
-- Method: setIva (LArrayOfAlicIva;)V
PROCEDURE setIva(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) IS
BEGIN
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(1);
JNI.ADD_OBJECT_ARG(args, a0, 'ArrayOfAlicIva');
JNI.CALL_VOID_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'FECAEDetRequest', 'setIva', '(LArrayOfAlicIva;)V', args);
END;

Java Control Panel wont open at all and any Java Applets crash web browsers

Hello,
I recently installed a fresh fully updated copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I have not for the life of me been able to get Java working at all. Java version is the latest JRE 6U31. I only have Internet Explorer 9 installed but I doubt it is a browser issue since I cannot even open the Java control panel. I have tried using the 32 bit version of Java, and the 64 bit. Anytime I try to open the Java control panel with either 32 bit or 64 bit, I get an error message (click link below to view error message):
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h204/gobigjeff/Java%20Error/javaerror.png
I can only bring up the Java Control Panel using the command “javaws –viewer” . Anytime I try to load a web page with a Java applet in either 64 bit or 32 bit, it freezes and crashes. I am running Internet Explorer 9 and have tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit browser versions. I saw Java’s recommendation to only use the 32 bit version so I have mainly been trying to get the 32 bit version working 1st, with no success. I have tried ALL of the following steps, and have done some exhaustive research on this problem. It seems others have had this issue as well, with no solution to be found:
•     Uninstalled and reinstalled only Java 32 bit JRE 6u31 multiple times (Used Javara and reg cleaner to remove all old Java traces)
•     Uninstalled and reinstalled only Java 64 bit JRE 6u31 (Used Javara and reg cleaner to remove all old Java traces)
•     Uninstalled and reinstalled bit JRE 7 (Used Javara and reg cleaner to remove all old Java traces)
•     Used SFC /scannow in safe mode to verify Windows files
•     Ran spyware and virus scan with no issues detected
•     Added all java processes to windows firewall
I am out of solutions here. If anyone has had this problem with Java or knows what I need to do to fix the problem your advice would be greatly appreciated. I don’t think reinstalling windows is the solution because this is a fresh install.

I figured it out. I changed the installation folder to C:/Java and it finally worked!
