Need help with java J2Se 5.0 upgrade 2

Having problems with Java when playing on Pogo, the Vaults of Atlantis. When loading, I am getting a message that says that I need to remove and download again, java. That it is not working correctly. I did that yesterday, 05/27/05 and am still experiencing the problem but only after signing off from Pogo and AOL and then trying to sign back on again later in the day. I have to shutdown my computer and bring it back up again and then I can load the Vaults of Atlantis. I have noticed that when I do sign-off from Pogo and AOL, that my java cup stays on in my deskbar. Is that supposed to be normal or is it supposed to disappear? If it is supposed to disappear, what can I do to fix that problem?
Please, can anyone help?

Go here http://www.java.com/en/ and click "Download Now".
If that has problems, click the "Manual Download" link and download the "Windows (Offline Installation)".
If there are problems, review the Help information to resolve.

  • Need help with Java programming installation question

    Sorry for my lack of knowledge about Java programming, but:....
    A while back I thought I had updated my Java Runtime Environment programming. But I now apparently have two programs installed, perhaps through my not handling the installation properly. Those are:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 5.0 (a 118MB file)
    and:
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v 1.4.2_05 (a 108MB file)
    Do I need both of these installed? If not, which should I uninstall?
    Or, should I just leave it alone, and not worry about it?
    Yeah, I don't have much in the way of technical knowledge...
    Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Bob VanHorst

    Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll do just that. Once in a while I have a problem with Java not bringing up a webcam shot, but when that happens, it seems to be more website based than a general condition.

  • Need help with java

    ok so i have a midterm and need help this question that is gonna be on the midterm. i dont know how to do it and its worth 16 marks!!!! here it is
    the UW Orchestra wants to produce a CD containing all the pieces of music
    from its upcoming concert. In order to do that, it needs to calculate the total length of time for the
    CD. In addition, the conductor wishes to know which piece of music has the longest duration.
    Sample output for the program.
    The Swan (3.88)
    The Bee (0.98)
    Claire de Lune (6.02)
    Liebesfreund (3.38)
    Ragtime (3.48)
    The total time for the CD is 18.74 minutes.
    The longest piece is Claire de Lune.
    Do not include the HTML that is required to embed the program into a Web page (that is, show
    only what you would write between <script> and </script> tags).
    [4 marks] In the following space, define a function, Print, that takes two parameters, Title and
    Length, and outputs a line of text such that Title appears in italics, followed by Length in
    parentheses. The function also returns the value of Length.
    For example, Print("My World",30) will output the line
    My World (30)
    and return the value 30.
    Put your JavaScript program for the remainder of this question in the space provided on the next
    two pages.
    [9 marks]. For each piece of music, your program should input the title of the piece and the
    duration (in minutes) for that piece, and it should output a line showing those values using the
    Print function just defined. After all pieces have been listed, the program should output the
    total length of time for the CD, adding in 0.25 minutes between each piece of music (which is
    needed on the CD to separate the pieces).
    [3 marks] The program should also output the name of the piece that has the longest playing
    time.
    Use reasonable variable names, indentation and good programming style. Documentation and
    comments are not required, but you may add them to explain any assumptions you might want to
    make. You need not check that the input is valid, and you may assume that no two pieces have the
    same duration.
    can anyone help me out! i would be indebt of ur kindness if u can help me out!

    This forum is for Java, not JavaScript. The two have nothing to do with each other.
    And anyway, this is your studying, so you should try to do it, put forth your best effort, and ask specific questions (on the proper fourm).

  • Need help with Java fonts (broken in 10.4.9)

    Hi, folks,
    There was a post late last year (maybe October?) that explained how to fix a problem with Java fonts. (OK...I know NOTHING, but I am able to follow directions!)
    I play games on Yahoo.com (Literati and Word Racer) that now have unreadable fonts since I upgraded 3 days ago. I seem to remember last year's fix had something to do with disabling fonts. I just can't remember what to do and have spent an hour looking for the post.
    If you can find it - or tell me what to do - I'd appreciate it. Remember, I need really specific directions.
    Thanks.
    iMac duo core   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I am able to set up a new account and work but even after deleting all preferences the problem persists in my admin account.
    I'll try to look for any font corruption and clear font cache but having to reinstall the OS is a real drag. Not sure why PS should corrupt the OS, itself.
    Any chance I can uninstall and remove PS then install again?

  • Need help with java will even pay

    I need extreme help. I just don't have time lately to write these programs and I have fallen extremely behind. Basically all I need is to pass this class and right now until I can get some more help I just can't make the deadlines. If someone could help me I will pay you just like a tutor.
    Requirements for Lab.
    You will need to develop a variety of classes for this lab. Specifically, you need to create:
    +1. a "PersonGUI" class that displays fields for a person's: firstName, lastName, identificationNum, and sex.+
    +2. a "StudentGUI" class that provides Java components for the entry of: classification (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, or graduate student), and Checkboxes for (a student being in the Honor's program and/or in the ROTC).+
    +3. a "FacultyGUI" class that provides Java components for the entry of: rank (instructor, assistant, associate, or full professor), years of service, and salary.+
    +4. a "Statistics" class that, when instantiated, creates an object containing an instance variable for each of the the statistical values outlined below. (Each of these instance variables should be declared to be "private".)+
    Your main Lab6 class should provide a means for the user to:
    +1. Specify the kind of personal data to be entered (Student or Faculty), and+
    +2. Then, depending on the choice made, appropriate fields should be displayed to allow the user to input appropriate information for the type of personal data being entered, and+
    +3. Controls that support the following functionality:+
    * a "CANCEL" control that will terminate any operation currently being performed and return the user to the "Startup" window.
    * a "SAVE" control that will cause the just entered data to be harvested from the graphical user interface and the appropriate statistics to be updated. Note: this function may NOT be performed if any of the student or faculty member data fields have not been filled in.
    * a "RESET" control that will erase all information recorded to date (i.e., all summary variables are reset to zero).
    * a "CLEAR" control that will erase all fields for the personal data currently being entered.
    * and a "DISPLAY TOTALS" control that will display, when pressed, the following data:
    +1. For students:+
    +1. total number of students entered so far,+
    +2. number who are male and number who are female,+
    +3. number of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students,+
    +4. number of students who are in the Honor's program and number who are in the ROTC.+
    +2. For faculty:+
    +1. total number of faculty entered so far,+
    +2. number who are male and number who are female,+
    +3. the name and salary of the highest paid faculty member on campus.+
    Your program should validate numeric data to the extent:
    +1. no numeric field (id number, years of service, or salary) may be left blank by the user. If done so, the user should be alerted to enter a numeric value.+
    +2. when the user enters a "years of service" value for a faculty member - the value entered should be verified to be a valid integer value in the range 1 to 50. If the data entered is outside the valid range or is not a valid integer - your program should reject the value and prompt the user that invalid data has been entered and that a new value is necessary.+
    +3. when a faculty salary is entered, verify that it is a floating-point value in the range $35,000 to $200,000. Handle invalid data as described above.+
    +4. Similarly, if an invalid integer value is entered for the identification number, the value should be rejected and the user prompted to reenter.+
    +5. Information should not be saved, nor should statistical values be updated, until all numeric data has been validated.+
    Note -- You will be graded on appropriate use of instance vs. local variables, use of methods, and passing parameters and returning appropriate values.
    +1. The 'Statistics" class MUST provide "mutator" and "accessor" methods that are required to access values or to modify the values of any variable. REMEMBER ALL VARIABLES ARE DECLARED TO BE "private"!!+
    +2. You should implement methods to verify the data, as detailed above. The methods should return boolean values indicating whether the data is acceptable or not.+

    Sorry to hear about your problems - lack of time, having fallen behind, imminent failure etc - but none of these are Java problems.
    This site deals with Java problems: compiler or runtime behaviour that people can't understand. If you have problems of that sort (and especially if solving those problems would help with the problems you did describe) then post them.
    Otherwise you would seem to be in the wrong place.

    I just formatted and reinstalled Windows XP Home SP2 and installed the JRE 1.5.0.02.

  • Need Help with Java Homework

    This is my first post here, seeking some help with my java homework. I am required to create a program to write out a receipt for a pizza company: name of company, total number of pizzas, costs (including tax etc), and print out the receipt after taking an order from the customer.
    This is a beginner's java class and my book isn't very good at explaining (mainly because it says "will be discussed in ch 14" when we're in ch 1-3 and it's an essential part of the program).
    But anyways, if anyone is up right now, would be helpful for some help. I have a general idea of what I wanna do, but the program so far is very messy and incomplete and having trouble getting it to look nice and proper.

    well there were two ways of doing this, im only 2 weeks new in java so bear with me.....I was gonna set 3 classes, one appclass, one order form, and one receipt. I was told you can combine the order and receipt in 1 class, but I thought doing 3 woudl be better to help me learn more...anyways, I haven't worked on the appclass yet, but for the order I have a very messy set of codes. I know that it's wrong but it's a start, im looking for any input cause the book does not explain very much.
    For the order class, I will be doing showinputdialog boxes for how many pizzas, the sizes, and the toppings. Here is what I have so far ( i know it is VERY messy and disorganized but I am a bit lost in where I should go next):
    * @author AlexNguyen
    * To take the order with number of pizzas and toppings
    package project2;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class Order {
         public int NumberOfPizzas;
         public char Pepperoni;
         public char Sausage;
         public char Cheese;
         public Order(int n) {
         NumberOfPizzas = n;
         JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Number of Pizzas"));
    String ptype; {
         public void start();
         public void takeOrder();
         public void writeReceipt();
              public void takeOrder();
              ptype = Topping
    public String selectPizza(char P, char S, char C) {
         Pepperoni = P;
         Sausage = S;
         Cheese = C;
    public void numPizza(int numberOfPizzas) {

  • New @ RMI need help with  java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling

    Hi @ all out there,
    I'm new with Java RMI and have to write a EventSystem for an college project where clients can subscribe to a topic and get notified when someone publishes a message to the subscribed topic.
    At server-side I have a class called EventSystem that provides methods for subscribing and unsubscribing from topics, and also for posting messages (for publishers).
    To subscribe i thought that the client must specify the topic and also itself ( means that a client calls in this way: obj.subscribe("mytopic", this).
    The EventSystem handles a list of all clients, and whenever a new message is posted it goes trough all clients and invokes the handleMessage(String msg) method that all Clients have to provide.
    On my local machine without RMi this concept works just great.
    I now tried to get it working using RMI , but I get the following Exception when starting the client (the server starts fine) :

  • Need help with power supply & graphics card upgrades

    I have a HP Pavilion p6320y that I bought 8 months ago. AMD Phenom II x4820 Quad Core processor.   I play WoW and since the last big patch, have been suffering with low fps. I updated drivers and followed all the advice given to me by Blizz and finally figured out that my Nvidia GeForce 9100 (integrated graphics) isn't good enough anymore.
    I checked my computer and discovered that I have a 300w power supply (12V) and read on another post here that something stronger than 300w is needed to run a decent graphics card.
    Now for my questions:
    How much of a power supply can I upgrade to without hurting my computer, but will be enough to run a good card?
    What would be a good graphics card for this computer?
    I've been looking at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express graphics card and wonder if that will work on my computer.  Most of the nicer cards seem to be the PCI Express and I'm not sure if that will work.
    Any advice will be most helpful. I have some experience with the inner workings of my PC and would like to fix this myself instead of running to the closest computer shop and paying someone else to. Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
    GeForce 9400 under $50
    Radeon HD 4650 under $50
    GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
    Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

  • Need Help With Java Query String

    I'm new to Java and I'm passing data via a URL to another page(I'm not using a form). I have been succesfull in decoding the string to return the name value below:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    function decodeSearchString() {
    var nameValue = new Array();
    var searchStr = unescape(location.search.substring(1));
    if (searchStr) {
    var formElement = searchStr.split("&");
    var tmpArray = new Array();
    for (k = 0; k < formElement.length; k++) {
    tmpArray = formElement[k].split("=");
    nameValue[tmpArray[0]] = tmpArray[1];
    return nameValue
    var srchData = decodeSearchString();
    </SCRIPT>
    However, now I need to add the value returned from the above srcipt to the Java script listed below:
    <SCRIPT Language="Javascript" SRC="#srchData.link#?open&pID=PAR"> </SCRIPT>
    This above script if working will add the HTML from the URL query to the page, but I keep getting a Java Error with this script. Please Help !

    I assume you are using a JSP page and not just solely doing Javascript. IF you are using JSP, then read on. Otherwise, I can revisit your script.
    To obtain the value of the query string, you would use a method call such as:
    String strQuery = request.getQueryString()
    Or, to get a single parameter off the query string, you can call:
    String strSearchData = request.getParameter("paramname");
    Or, if you want all the parameters and values instead of just one long string you can call:
    Enumeration enumParamNames = request.getParameterNames();
    You can use the above enumeration in combination with getParameter() to get the values.
    In order to build your script line and add the query string, you would then do something like this:
    <SCRIPT Language="Javascript" SRC="#<%=strSearchData%>.link#?open&pID=PAR"> </SCRIPT>
    Notice the <%= %> block in the above code.
    I hope that is what you were looking for. Your example is somewhat confusing so I may have answered wrong.

    ?C:\Program? is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
    I would appreciate if someone explain me what I did wrong in set up so this test program is not working.
    Do I need to run j2ee ?verbose some other directory? Which directory should I compile my java file?
    Did I set up my environment variable correctly or I need to do something else?
    Please help me out.
    Thanks a lot.

    try to set JAVA_HOME environment variable to
    C:\PROGRA~1\java\J2RE14~1.1_0
    when you dir name contains space symbols, you should enclose it in commas or use a short form
    "C:\Program Files\java\j2re1.4.1_01"
    is equals to
    C:\PROGRA~1\java\J2RE14~1.1_0

  • Need help with Java MIDI and VST info

    I am currently a college student for programming and I know programming very well, but for this current task, I am completely stuck. This is not a school project or work, just a personal project I'm working on at the moment to learn more about Java.
    What I am trying to create is a VST (Virtual Studio Synthesizer) using Java for use in music programs such as FL Studio, Sonar, Ableton, and so on. I did alot of Googling and found the following program:
    [http://jvaptools.sourceforge.net/index.html]
    I got it working, but it's not quite what I am looking for (it's more like an on-site editor that you enter code into and then run it). I want to create a VST from scratch and learn what each thing means in the program. I've done some research on MIDI input and output and found the following in the Java documentation:
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/sound/midi/MidiDevice.html]
    I figured I'm on track of what I'm looking for, but the problem is that the Java documentation simply sucks. It has no examples of code, how the functions work, and how I'm suppose to use them.
    First off, I want to start with the extreme bare basics. Is it even possible to do a VST in JUST Java? I've seen and used examples of obtaining data from a MIDI file and playing it, but that's not what I'm trying to do. Second, how would I take MIDI data from a music program running the VST and enter the data into a text box? Once I'm able to do that, I should be able to work with the data to produce audio output.
    My program I am attempting to make is a guitar synthesizer that I can run in music programs as a VST. If anyone around here knows anything about MIDI and VST plugins, please, post some example code and help point me in the right direction to creating something. I'm not looking to use other people's programs or code, I want to make something myself from scratch but I don't know where to start!
