Slow applet on Vista & 7

Hi everyone,
this is my first thread so i hope i got the right section :).
I used to work on a Windows XP station where i was using applets that were quite fast but now i'm working on Windows 7 and those applets are slow and the same thing happen on Vista.
The JRE are 1.6.12 on both environment and the problem occur on both IE and Firefox.
I already look over the forum but i couldn't find a solution so i hope you can help me .
Thanks,
Ator
PS: Sorry for my english :)

I have an iPhone 4 and since upgrading to iOS 7 I am also having a lot of trouble with my cellular network. I am with one of the big 3 Telcos in Canada. I get full bars but my service is either slow or non-responsive. Some of my apps claim that the network has dropped even though I have full bars and no interference. I have surfed around for a solution and have not found any solid advice yet. I have more than half of my phones storage free.
Any advice?

  • Finally.... Video captured from applet in Vista!!

    Hello!
    Hurray!! finally I can see myself smiling and waving back in browser in Vista.
    I mentioned in another thread just a day earlier that I will post a new topic if I succeed in capturing from applets in Vista, so thats what I am doing.... This thread is all about how achieved it.
    I have seen many posts mentioning problems in capturing from applets in vista. I was also one of the sufferer. And most people including me blamed that on restricted sandbox of Vista. But surprisingly it was all about classpath.
    I think I mentioned in some earlier thread that the 'Java console' shows the classpath to be *"{JREHOME}/classes"* instead of the classpath specified in CLASSPATH environment variable. You can check that by pressing 's' which *'dumps system and deployment properties'* in the Java Console. You can check the classpath by noting the value of *"java.class.path"* field which for my case was"C:\\PROGRA~1\\Java\\jre6\\classes". This turned out to be the main problem. The applet was not accessing any classes from the real CLASSPATH instead it was considering the classpath to be jrehome/classes. So, now I had enough hint what to do next. I simply created a folder 'classes' in {JREHOME} and copied the jmf registry files to that folder. By registry files I mean *'jmf.properties'* and *'jmf.properties.orig'* files in *'{JMF Install}/lib'* folder (actually i don't which among them has got some thing to do with the registry but I copied them both). So, after doing this, all my capture applets, whether signed or unsigned started running. Earlier they all were throwing *"java.lang.RuntimeException: No permission to capture from applets"* exception even after I have allowed capture from applets in JMF registry. That was perhaps not taking affect because of classpath issues. So, thats the story.... if someone faces the same problem he can use this workaround or you can say hack ;-)
    Some questions which can be asked from me would be:
    1- Did you set your CLASSPATH environment variable correctly?
    ans: Yes, infact all my jmf applications were running correctly, the problem was only with the applets.
    2- What classpath other systems (e.g. XP) mention in the Java console ?
    ans: surprisingly, the same classpath that Vista mentions i.e. {JREHOME}/classes. I tested on XP-SP3, but it supposedly had access to the real CLASSPATH also.
    3- Is this problem really Vista specific?
    ans: Can't say... but it can be. It maybe the case that Vista does not allow access to real CLASSPATH, but this problem can easily be my system specific, it would be called a general vista problem if this happens on all Vista systems, I need volunteers for this test. captfoss, can you please test this on your system? :)
    4- Is this problem JMF specific?
    ans: Chances are low. I am going to test this by making my own test library and adding it to classpath and then try to access it via applet. If this fails then this problem is not JMF specific.
    Drawbacks of this work around:
    1- This can be a pain for ordinary users , copying registry files from JMF/lib to JRE/classes.
    2- Whatever you change in JMF registry would not be effective to the applets. As the old registry files are to be replaced with new registry files every time JMF registry is changed for changes to take effect in applets.
    The real big question:
    How can we force Vista to look in the real CLASSPATH? this is the real question, if this can be done just by changing some settings then all this workaround is useless :) I am looking forward to the answer of this question.....
    captfoss, I would highly appreciate your comments.
    Thanks for reading this rather long post.... :)
    Thanks!

    A couple of comments here...the answer is, in fact, no, you didn't set your classpath correctly. One, you're probably using a JAR file to run your applet from (I'm not an applet programmer but I do believe that a JAR is required) which do not use the environment's classpath, they use their manifest classpath. No, the applet was not jared.
    Second, I believe that the browser itself specifies its own classpath, which you cannot modify. I believe this would be considered a security feature...Both IE7 and firefox3 fail.
    "You have little control over the CLASSPATH used by a browser for an Applet"
    [http://mindprod.com/jgloss/classpath.html]
    Ok this maybe the reason, I will go through the link....
    2- What classpath other systems (e.g. XP) mention in the Java console ?
    ans: surprisingly, the same classpath that Vista mentions i.e. {JREHOME}/classes. I tested on XP-SP3, but it supposedly had access to the real CLASSPATH also. There isn't a "real" CLASSPATH, there is just the classpath stored as an environmental variable. It's no more or less real than the one in the browser.Thats what I thought.... but I think {JREHOME}/classes is the default class path used by the jre whether we set any CLASSPATH variable or not it would be there, something of that sort.....
    Lots of possibilities, but my best guess is that Vista doesn't let code running in the browser read environmental variables.Yes, I fully agree with this. I think I should file a bug report.
    4- Is this problem JMF specific?
    ans: Chances are low. I am going to test this by making my own test library and adding it to classpath and then try to access it via applet. If this fails then this problem is not JMF specific. Definately not. It would apply to any code that wants to access something on the classpath. You are right... as I said I would test it, I tested by making a small library, added it to classpath, made an application and an applet. As expected, the aplication worked while the applet failed.
    Any application with a custom classpath would be affected.I don't understand what you mean here, do you mean 'Class-path' header in jar manifest?
    I like the "installation requirement" part. I'd suggest looking into that. Alternately, there may be something in the security settings to allow access to environmental variables.I will try to look into both.
    I just tried this statement in applet:
    System.out.println( System.getProperty( "java.class.path" ) );It threw this exception:
    Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission java.class.path read)
    I don't know what conclusion should I draw from this... this does mean applet has no right to know what the classpath is.... but this doesn't mean even jre plugin responsible for running applet does not know what the classpath is :)
    Finally, I want to say that due to some problems I could not post earlier, and I may not post for few more days. But I appreciate your comments and would appreciate more of them.
    Thanks!

  • Very slow applets on Safari 5 and 1.6.20 - works fine in Firefox

    Hello,
    Has anyone else noticed very slow applets in safari 5? I'm running 1.6.0_20 and trying run any of the applets at http://openprocessing.org results in VERY slow applet performance.
    If i load the same applets in Firefox things run smoothly.
    For example, load this one in both and see the difference:
    http://openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=9151
    The motion in Safari 5 is jerky and not fluid at all. But in firefox it runs nice and smooth. Even in Chrome it's jerky just like Safari.
    I've tried both the 32/64 bit version settings and still the same result in Safari.
    Thanks..

    HI,
    Open Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities) Select the Network tab
    Click: Delete files
    Relaunch Safari.
    And empty the Safari cache from the Safari menu.
    Could be the site itself. An HTML validator came up with errors.

  • J2SE 5.0 plugin and slow applet load time

    Folks,
    I have an applet (https), with about 5 MB of jar files. After we
    moved to J2SE 5.0, the load time seems much slower. It used to load in
    40 seconds. Now it loads in 4 min.
    An odd thing I noticed is when I minimize my Internet Explorer window,
    the applet seems to start up quickly again.
    Is this possibly related to the "starburst logo" progress bar
    animation that Sun now uses for applet start ups? I know that
    animated gifs can sometimes chew up quite a bit of cpu time.
    I think the progressbar property is no longer in 5.0
    I'm running on a single proc laptop. When I run it on my 2 proc
    server, it is not as obvious, and startup time seems reasonable.
    Thanks,
    Rob
    [email protected]

    I'm also seeing a similar slow applet startup time. CPU is 100% (IE is in high 90s). Works ok on my 3GHz P4, but is very slow (up to 16 minutes) on 400 MHz P2.
    My problem seems to be related to how my .properties files (23 total, for internationalization support) are handled.
    During start-up in JRE 1.5 I see the following for each .properties file:

    The file (1 of 23) I supply is named fax.properties (the default file). Since my locale setting are English/US I guess the I18N code is trying to figure out if the regional files are present. Each of these requests is timing out 5-8 seconds for each - it builds up quickly.
    I haven't been able to find out why this is happening or resolve the issue. I'm close to restricting my applet to only 1.4.2 as that was fine and posting this as a bug.

  • Slow Applet

    this has got to be one of the simplest applets, yet it takes over 10 minutes to run the second part.
    here's the source
    (done in netbeans, I'm a newb)
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.applet.Applet;
    public class gpaApplet extends java.applet.Applet implements ActionListener {
      public Button sub=new Button("Submit");
      public TextField number=new TextField(5);
    public void init() {
    setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    add(number);
    add(sub);
    sub.addActionListener(this);
    public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent a) {
    if (a.getSource()==sub) {
    int num=3, index=0;
    TextField[] ta = new TextField[num];
    remove(number);
    remove(sub);
    setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    add(ta[0]);
    }this is not all of what i plan to do with it, but i need this to work in order to do what i plan to do. after it removes the textfield and the button (number and sub), it takes 10 minutes+ (i never waited to see how long it takes, all i know is that its still trying after the 10 minutes but still hasnt displayed anything to the screen) to display just 1 textfield from the array.
    when i dont use arrays, and i just make 1 textfield and display it (after removing the textfield and button) it takes about 2 -3 minutes to display the textfield,
    i've tried it on 3 computers, one of which was a 3 ghz machine with 1 gig of ram. so i dont see why its soooo daam slow
    can someone please help me solve this problem?

    ok, now the problem arises here. i need to make the "num" number of textfields, based on whatever is input (i'll add that code later, after i get this to work).
    so how do i make as many textfields as i want? i tried putting a "for" loop within...
    TextField[] ta = new TextField[] {
    //for loop goes here
    }i tried putting that loop in there, but it would not allow it. gave some kind of error.
    so my question. how do i make as many textfields as i want, based on the number that the user enters.

  • Quicktime slow over network (Vista Enterprise x64)

    Quicklime is ridiculously slow on vista over a network.
    I conducted several tests, opening an image sequence took 5 seconds on XP and 55 seconds on Vista. Other tests with other programs had no issues ie photoshop, after effects, etc.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Anyone have any idea?

  • Itunes 8 extremely slow and feezes Vista

    Oh my god,
    This is getting worse. If you tought that Itunes 7 and Vista weren't ment for eachother, Itunes 8 and Vista just hate eachother. Itunes 8 is just extremely slow on my fresh installed Vista. It keeps freezing up and sometimes my system won't respond to a thing I am doing thanks to the wonderfull crappy software from Apple...
    If this is really all you guys can write then I guess I will have to look for a better software to synch my ipod.

    I've definitely noticed that switching between library sections (music, movies, etc.) is much slower in iTunes 8 than it was with ver. 7. So far, it's a teeth gritting annoyance at worst. It improved somewhat when I set all areas to List View, but only somewhat. The program also takes longer to load than version 7 did (sort of unbelievable in itself!), and there WAS one heart stopper of a moment where I thought it had locked up and taken my HP laptop with it, but it came back after 15-20 seconds on its own. I don't have a novice-level PC by any means; it's one of the newest and nicest of the direct-to-retail models, with a Core 2 Duo (P8400), discrete Nvidia 9600M GT w/512MB RAM, and 4GB of system RAM, running Vista HP 64 bit. (Yep, I installed the 64-bit iTunes.) I did notice one other poster mentioned having an HP laptop. Doesn't seem like hardware limitations should be a factor, at least in my case; I hope, whatever the issue turns out to be, that it isn't some total incompatibility with something HP loads on its machines. I'm sure Apple will come up with a bug fix at some point, but since the iPhone 3G became part of my life, it sure seems like a large chunk of that life is spent waiting for Apple to fix bugs and putting up with subpar performance in the meantime. I'm pretty new to things Apple, and I can say quite honestly that all the problems I've had with various iPods, the iPhone 3G, and here and there with iTunes were the reason I chose my current laptop over a MBP. I couldn't stand the idea of spending all that money and getting a lemon. Apple isn't the huge performer I'd always heard it was, not in my experience!

  • Extremely slow internet in vista ultimate

    been having this problem since i installed windows vista ultimate. i had xp before on my imac 20" 2.4ghz and it worked fine. but since i installed the vista ultimate the internet is extremely slow and it would take an hour to open a webpage, if im lucky.
    so far the only solution i have now is to restart the router everytime i switch from osx to vista ultimate. sometimes the internet is so slow i can't even access the router webpage (192.168.0.1). but in the meantime i can access it with my ipod touch no problem.
    is anyone else having the same problem?
    hope to get some response.
    thanks a lot!

    I encountered very slow network performance with Vista and bootcamp and this is what I found.
    I have a DLINK DIR-655 router which I upgraded the firware to 1.10 (which supports 802.11n and some other enhancements). I did this for it seems that Vista was handing my DLINK Router. This router seems to work great on my iMac running Leopard in 802.11n mode.
    Next I noted that the Microsoft Broadcom 802.11n wireless driver was being loaded in Vista/Bootcamp. I believe during some of the Windows Update that the older Broadcom driver was loaded.
    I reloaded the driver located on the Leopard Install DVD and in the "Drivers" folder and installed the "BroadcomInstaller". This installed the Broadcom driver ver 4.8.75.0 date 1/8/07.
    Then in the Driver properties in the Advanced Settings, I did the following
    IBSS Mode set to "802.11a/b/g/n Auto"
    Rate (802.11b/g) set to "54" vs "Use Best Rate"
    This did not set my network to 802.11n but my network performance went from dismal to excellent. I tried playing with the Rate settings but it appeared that the IBSS mode did the trick. Now I can not wait until I can get 802.11n working.
    Hope this helps

  • Computer running real slow. Tried Vista disk cleaning but attempts to fix error not working. How can I speed up PC?

  • Potential fix to slowness in IE7 / Vista?

    Hello.
    Someone brought this to my attention. A page created with iWeb (not sure of version) was taking forever to load in IE7 on Vista. The server seemed to come back, but an excessive amount of javascript running onLoad was causing IE to hang.
    I noticed a topic posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1084667 ... and I was going to post my findings there, but for some reason, the topic is both unanswered and archived... seemingly still valid, 3 years later.
    Anyway, at around line 332-343 of iWebSite.js (again, not sure of the version it was created with -- the line numbers might vary for different versions?) a function, fixAllIEPNGs, exists that takes each image with a PNG extension and applies the AlphaImageLoader css filter to get transparency working.
    AlphaImageLoader is only required for earlier versions of IE (between 5.5 - 6.0 if I recall correctly) and is PAINFULLY slow... Normally it takes a couple thousand GIF/JPG on a page before you notice any lag, but with the alpha image loader, it takes only a half dozen or so before things slow to a crawl.
    Thing is, the function runs for all versions of IE, where it really only needs to be applied to versions < 7. So... the suggested, completely untested, fix I provided to my friend (I should have prefaced saying I don't actually own a Mac, nor have I ever used iWeb) was to make a revisions to iWebSite.js, line 333:
    replace: {detectBrowser();if(windowsInternetExplorer)
    with : {if( shouldApplyCSSBackgroundPNGFix() )
    That function is used in a different section and checks for IE<7. Applying this fix should speed things up in newer versions of IE and for those fools still using archaic versions of IE, they'll still get transparency on the PNG files.
    Um... enjoy!

    Nice post, thanks!

  • Very slow printing from vista PC to PSC1355 on XP PC

    My wife has a Vista laptop which connects wirelessly to my home network.
    There is a PSC 1355 connected to my PC which runs XP.
    The printer is shared and can be seen from the vista machine but when trying to print from the vista machine it is extremely slow in printing and viewing the printer`s settings. Also if the shared printer is setup as the default printer then the vista machine is very slow opening any MS office document.
    I`ve searched all over the place for quite a while to try to resolve this problem to no avail. The printer can`t be setup on the vista machine because of it`s location.
    Any ideas?

  • Java 1.5.09/10 Java Applet on Vista - starts but never downloads files

    We are attempting to test a java 1.5.07 compiled and signed Java applet with Windows Vista (from MSDN).
    Logged in as an administrator on the client PC, we installed the 1.5.09 and the 1.5.10 JRE on the client.
    We then changed the html of the applet page to specifiy the new plugin version so it matched the JRE installed on the client.
    When we start up IE7, point to our HTML applet page, and attempt to download (cache) our applet, the default Java plugin graphic with the progress bar onthe bottom shows up, but no progress is ever made.
    Taking a look at the Java console with full debugging turned on, we don't see any activity. When I dumped the classloader list, it only shows the codebase string, but no classes are actually loaded.
    I thought that maybe a popup window (asking to verify the certificate) might have popped up and was hidden by another window, but that's not the case. It never appears.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I can certainly attempt to capture more debug if someone can point me in the right direction!
    Thanks!

    Ok, some more info - and this gets interesting!
    The server is located in a DMZ here at work. (We have offshore teams in russia who are developing and testing code)
    It seems to be an issue with the internal firewall/DMZ here at work.
    We moved the codebase to a machine that is locally located (not in a DMZ) and presto, the applet begins to download.
    When I find out more information, I'll post in case anyone else comes across a similar concern/issue. It may be the firewall/router vendor?!?

  • Slow applet--HELP!

    My entire project has skidded to a halt because of this problem, so I need help right away!
    The problem:
    A very simple applet is running very slowly. All it does is display a custom component.
    How can I speed it up without losing encapsulation?
    public class ArrowTest extends Applet{
       Arrow a = new Arrow();
       add(a);
    }The component is a lightweight custom component, which is also very simple. It has a anonymous listener class in its constructor (MouseMotionListener) which causes the Arrow to rotate when the mouse is clicked and dragged. (this involves lots of Math.cos, Math.sin, etc., but not THAT much) However when I dragged my mouse on the arrow's area, the rotation was slow and choppy. I would drag the mouse, and about 10 seconds later, the arrow would notice and flip right to where I ended, not showing the in-between steps.
    The applet ran fine (smoothly and with a fast response) on my computer in the applet viewer. It also worked fine when I ftp'd it to my html server and ran it. It worked badly at school, which is the ultimate destination of this applet. The school's computers are not much slower than my testing computer. I know that the html servers are extremely busy/slow, but I thought that the entire applet was loaded into memory so that once it was started, the server's business was done?
    Is there any case in which the applet needs to go back to the HTML server once it has loaded the applet?
    I had planned to put many such arrows on the screen concurrently, and even pack it into another custom component. But if I can't even display one arrow, my entire project is on the skids.
    How can I speed this up?
    Can I make it such that the user has to download pieces of my applet and store it on their computer somewhere, so that I can help this slow HTML server (so that it sends less info)?
    Thanks in advance!

    thank you for replying!
    However, I'm not sure what you're suggesting?
    The event handler, which is part of the component, calls repaint() (the component's paint and update methods). The rotation is intended to be packaged as part of the arrow's default behavior, in the same sense as a button's default behavior is such that if you click on a button you see the image of the button go "up and down". You do not assign a event handler to do this; it is part of the component. Supposedly when you do this, the applet only reloads the area within the clip bounds of the component?
    I do not want to draw an arrow by calling getGraphics(). That would ruin the encapsulation. Another words, I want to add an arrow to the screen by simply saying
    add(arrow);
    not by having to write an arrow algorithm every time I want to use an arrow, which is most of the time, since that's my base class for Vector, Force, Acceleration, Velocity, etc. classes.
    I don't want the caller to be responsible for repainting or painting or anything.
    Am I totally not understanding your suggestion? If I am, please correct me.

  • Slow Scrolling in Vista

    I have been looking all over for an answer to this and have yet to find one yet. I have a machine running Vista Home Premium with iTunes and when you scroll the library it is so slow. If I use the scroll wheel on my mouse in any other program it works fine. I also have a laptop with Vista Business and it scrolls just fine so I don't think it's a problem with Vista. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and if it can be fixed.

    i also have this problem, every other program my scroll is fast and smooth except itunes. can someone please answer this question.
