Sqldeveloper causes display to disappear

I downloaded and installed the large kit (for systems without Java SDK release 1.5). I doubleclick on sqldeveloper.exe, and everything on my display disappears except my mouse pointer. And when I say everything, I mean the screen goes black - no desktop, no exception/core dump message, just the mouse pointer. And I can still move the pointer around. I've waited for several minutes, and nothing else happens. It seems my only option at this point is to hit the power button, whereupon WinXP does a graceful shutdown.

My next step was to actually read the Installation Guide ;-)
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32485_01/doc/install.110/b28240/install.htm#CIHEDDJE
Section 1.2.2 says I need Sun Java J2SE JDK 5.0 (Update 5 or later). I installed that, but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Brad

Update your display driver. You can also try updating to java 1.6, although that is a long shot. If neither of those work, try googling your display driver and java as there may be a solution on the web for the issue.

  • Setting width on a sprite causes things to disappear?

    I'm a little confused as to what is going on when I set the
    width of a sprite manually.
    In the attached code, nothing shows up.
    If I comment out the "width = 300" line, the circle shows up
    as expected.
    I'm not sure why manually setting the width of the sprite
    causes its child to disappear.
    Any ideas?

    setting the width or height of a display object before
    anything is attached to it causes the sprite to silently fail. When
    you add a child to a sprite, the height and width are automatically
    generated, so there really isnt much need to set height and width
    before you add children. after you add the children you can set
    height and width to resize the sprite as you see fit.

  • Stacking Shapes Causes Text to Disappear

    I have 2 rectangle shapes that are .25 in height. Each has text that is a single word in a 9 pt font. When I stack the shapes the text in the top shape does not display. I have tried changing the inset margin but that did nothing. Is this a bug?

    echyone,
    Click on both objects to select them. Click on the Wrap inspector, then uncheck Object Causes Wrap. Problem disappears.

  • Clicking on my user on login window occasionally causes display errors. Graphics chip dying?

    Hi. Occasionally (but happening more and more often), when I boot my computer and it goes to the login window, when I click on my username, suddenly the screen corrupts a bit around the username and while I can move my mouse, nothing is clickable anymore. The corrupt pattern always differs, and the only way to fix it for me is to force turn off the computer. When I reboot it, it works normally, and I can type my password to login. However today, I received the problem, and when I rebooted it, the problem happened again. I didn't want to shut it down this time to look for another solution so I just shut the lid, put the computer to sleep, and reopened it to see if the problem was fixed, but to no avail, the glitches (mostly random patches of black and white dispersed with small sprinkled pixels of varying colors) this time filled the entire screen.
    I think it may relate to the GPU, and in the case of the GPU, I can recall an event where I was using Final Cut to export something while I was also exporting something in Premiere, and suddenly the computer just stopped moving, and closing the lid didn't stop the harddisk or stop the fans (probably overtaxed with heat). After that, I've been noticing this happening.
    My temporary solution with this issue is to change the graphics card I am using.
    My MacBook Pro has the "better battery life" and "better performance" option, in which the 9400M is for "better" and the 9600M GT (or whatever) is for "performance", and requires me to log out and sign back in for any changes. For a while now, I have been using the "better performance" option since I started using final cut more often. Since it requires me to log out and sign back in in order to change, I feel that the 9600M GT which I might have possibly damaged could have something to do with it, since it seems that when I click on my username, the internal preference files change the graphics preference to "better performance", and that change may cause the glitches.
    Did I toast my 9600? How should I resolve this issue? I feel if I turn this computer on again it will never go back to it's normal mode.
    edit: read other topics, in case anyone brings up a heat theory: No I do not see any association with heat. I have had the glitch occur when I turn the computer on in the cold or when I turn it on a couple minutes after I turn it off, in which the board is still warm

  • User data causing display problems?

    I had a user on an iBook whose display was completely washed out. The image was so white and there was so little detail that it was mostly unreadable.
    So, I did a fresh load of 10.4 onto an older Powerbook G4 that had no issues, and I used the Setup Assistant to transfer over his all of his User Data, settings, and applications.
    As soon as the Powerbook rebooted, it had inherited the display problem!
    A fresh install on the iBook shows that the display is now fine. Somehow, this problem is travelling with the user's data, settings, and applications.
    I've played with the display and color settings, but they have no effect on the problem.
    The only unusual application that he was running was some "Ding!" app from Southwest Airlines.
    Any idea where to look to hunt down this problem?

    Check the contrast setting in the Universal Access pane of System Preferences; this setting can cause what you describe.

  • Log Out causes display distortion

    Hi folks
    I currently have two user accounts on my MacBook Pro because of a recent attempt to use Migration Assistant.  While trying to sort out the mess this has left me with, I have been switching between the 2 accounts.
    I have noticed that when I log out the displayed in shortened in the vertical direction, leaving me with black bars about 1cm wide on top and below.  In addition, the clarity of the display is blurred slightly.  Switching back to the other account does not fix the issue, though if I restart and login from there everything is normal.
    Something about logging out is causing the issue. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Well my problem did NOT go away either. At the Apple Store, I had 3 geniuses help and no one could figure it out. AppleCare top support people as well. No one knew. Hardware checked out. Software seemed fine. Solution? They gave me a new machine. Not what I was hoping for as I wish they found the answer. However, the unit is said to go to Apple diagnostics and they will trouble shoot it. Hopefully, someday we will get an answer. Until then, I wish everybody well and hope this doesn't happen to everybody's MBP 15 i7.
    One question - how did all of you bring in your user (home) files, if you did. I had dragged over my home folder so there was POSSIBLY an issue in there that the new i7 doesn't like?
    If one of you above, did NOT bring in a home folder, that would get rid of one culprit.

  • Toggling 3D or Continuously Rasterize switches causes comps to disappear forever?

    hi all
    this has happened to me a few times and it's driving me crazy:
    if I toggle on/off the 3D or Continuously Rasterize switches, at times it will make the comp disappear, and reverting the switches to their exact previous state(s) does not bring the comp back. Any ideas on what causes this behaviour?
    thank you
    LML

    yes, I believe so;
    I think I figured it out though, at least partially---when toggling, for some reason, the comp's position gets reset to the origin (0,0,0) and that is why it was disappearing;
    really strange still, I wonder why that would happen

  • Applying LiveFont causes text to disappear

    When I apply a livefont to my text, the text goes invisible? Anyone have this problem? i've even soloed the track and still, no text. i've moved down the timeline to various locations on the text and still no text.
    Is it possible the LiveFonts are not loaded on my machine, even though they're displayed in the library?
    on a deadline and freaking.

    Stephen, you still around? I'm having another issue now, when I apply a live font to text, it seems fine for the first 100 frames or so, then the first letter pops off (disappears). i've tried different live fonts with same result.
    I also went through every tab in the inspector and scrubbed the timeline from where the first letter is visible to where it disappears and can't find anything that's changing over time.
    ugh. pulling hair out now. not enough time to debug this stuff as I'm on a deadline.
    thanks!

  • Menu bar display icon disappears after resize

    My menubar display icon goes away after resize and the checkbox for it in system preferences unchecks itself. Has anyone else experienced this bug? Closing system preferences between resizes doesn't fix. Restarting machine doesn't fix. (Of course with my new macbook pro retina, I'm constantly resizing the display between resolutions that make my jaw drop to resolutions that I can read text on, so I need it in the menu bar.)

    Thanks for the link. Looks like it was a program I didn't even remember I installed, WiFind, which was causing the problem. I got rid of it and it looks like the menu bar icons are working again. Strange thing was when I tried to search for WiFind neither Spotlight nor the Find function in the finder could locate it. But there it was, right in the the Library/InputManagers folder. It's happened to me before I and don't know why. Anyway...
    I hope I don't have any more problems with this update but I've been burned by Leopard so many times I'm not counting on it! I'll try and stay positive.
