Stupid IE Patch!! Need Help!

I downloaded the new IE patch and I am not able to view applets anymore in IE. I was able to before I downloaded the patch, so I know that it has to be that. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know of a solution? Thanks!

IE uses it's own JVM, version 1.0. So it doesn't matter whether you downloaded one separately for you stand-alone applications.
I don't know exactly why you cannot view applets anymore, but if you go to http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html, that should install the latest version of Java available...

  • Stupid Question but need help

    Hey Guys
    This is going to sound like a stupid question, but ive been wrecking my head now for about 2 hours on it, and cant find any help on the net.
    Im looking to create an image to add to a j2me application. And basically it cant find the image.
    The image is in my c:\images folder and its called pike.jpg, when i use the following the code it does not find the image
    image = Image.createImage("C:/images/pike.jpg");
    image = Image.createImage("C/images/pike.jpg");
    image = Image.createImage("C:/\images/pike.jpg");
    image = Image.createImage("C:\\images/pike.jpg");Yet when i place it in my working directory and use
    image = Image.createImage("/pike.jpg");It works fine, basically how do i point to the directory c:\images\pike.jpg in java
    Thanks

    Thanks. Now that is clarified, I can see from the documentation:
    The name parameter is a resource name as defined by Class.getResourceAsStream(name) . The rules for resolving resource names are defined in the Application Resource Files section of the java.lang package documentation.
    So it's not a file name. The string you pass must be findable via the classpath.
    So, if C:\images is included in your classpath (which you'll need to do for this example), then just use "/pike.jpg" and have that file live in the images directory only.

  • THis is stupid...need help urgen

    I bought my Zen Tiuch 20GB today...yes TODAY. I got home, installed the drivers and everything correctly, charged the battery, plugged in my mp3 player to the computer and it connected correctly. I tested it by adding one track onto the player and it worked perfectly. Encouraged, i went and added my entire digital music collection onto the player, and left for a while
    however, it took offense with one song, which failed to transfer onto my player. The transfer of all my files immediately stopped, and from that point onwards, i havent been able to add any tracks onto the player, nor does it even suggest it is connected to my computer via USB. I've reset the player, disconnected, turned it off, restarted computer software etc but nothing doing. The player dosnt display the "docked" logo any more. By all accounts it is useless now. What the hell do i do?

    Please don't swear, and it will also get you a rap on the knuckles from the moderators.
    Also bear in mind that we're just trying to help. If you're really in dire straits you ought to contact support directly. This is mostly people of their own volition trying to help here.
    So if you've tried a format and disk cleanup... what software are you using to transfer?
    Is your player showing in Device Manager without error?
    Have you gone to?Nomadworld.com downloads and got the latest drivers and software?

  • Stupid question, but need help none the less...

    I'm one step away from testing out my new system with a K8N Neo Platinum board, but I don't know where to plug in the ground wires. I have a Lian Li PC65B and there's a ground 1 and 2 wire, where do I plug them in?

    Uhhh, I didn't see a ground wire from teh PSU, *runs back to check*.....but in my case has two single pin, like power switch or reset switch size, connectors, that say ground 1 and ground 2.

  • Need help with Patch Tool in CS5

    I am having a problem using the patch tool in Photoshop CS5. I click on the Patch Tool and select the Source option from the upper tool bar. Then I circle a gray area in the background of my photo and, holding down the left mouse button, I drag the selection to a black area in the background and release the mouse button. Instead of turning the selected area black it just makes the area slightly darker than it was originally. I just don’t understand why I can’t use the patch tool and any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much for these suggestions. Robert

    HEY,
    GREAT PRODUCT..BUT I GOT ONE QUESTION.
    I RECENTLY INSTALLED THE NEW SOUNDBLASTEER X-FI UT2004 PATCH..WOW ITS AMAZING BUT WHEN EVERYTHING IS INPUTED WITH THE SOUND OPTIONS IN THE GAME.. THE "H/W 3D + EAX"... THE MUSIC DOESNT PLAY BUT WHEN I CHOOSE H/W + audio.. THE MUSIC PLAYS REGULAR BUT THE NEW WEAPON SOUNDS AND MUSIC ENHANCEMENT ISNT THERE.. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THE MUSIC RUNNING IN THIS NEW PATCH, THE WEAPONS R AMAZING.. I JUST NEED HELP WITH THE MUSIC PLAYING.
    thanks,
    DANNY

    Have you actually read what the patch does? If not, check it out here. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/x-fi/technology/ut2004/ What you are hearing is probably it. The weapon sounds itself don't change. It just sounds more immersi've in that you can hear the rockets flying from one side to another more clearly, or hearing flak scattering when it hits the ground, etc.. It's nothing significant, but it does make it a bit more interesting to play.

  • My site went down and I need help getting it back up please!

    Hello.   I am new to this forum and new to Dreamweaver.   I had a friend who was helping with my website but lapsed on a payment or two and the site went down.  I can log back in now but I am unsure how to move the pages that I stored on my desktop back to the website space.   I tried "insert" but that button doesn't even light up.   Bottom line is I have a folder with the pages before it went down though I am unsure how to convert those to html.   I need to know how to move those files back into Dreamweaver so they appear on the website the way the did before it went down.   I also have them in a zip file form that he asked for a couple of years ago.    Would that help or be a better way to get the files back into Dreamweaver?  I am Dreamweaver "stupid" so I need any and all help I can get and thank you very much!    If you want to answer me privately, you can email me at [email protected]   I would appreciate anything anybody can do to help this "stupid old broad" try to figure out how to get this website back up fairly quickly as I just mailed a grant in and I am sure they will be checking out the website.   We are a small nonprofit.   Thanks again!

    Hi Hans.   I appreciate your "hanging with me" and yes I should change the date on my camera.   I changed the batteries recently and just haven't reset it. 
    I guess I am just not able to find how I access the Dreamweaver directory in the second window.   I have tried various "paths" but cannot find anything within Dreamweaver that says "directory".  Only things like required, regloc, plug ins, LMResources, legal, JVM, installer, etc. so I am apparently not following the right path to the directory.   I have tried everything.
    I have to be "real careful" as to what I do on the website as the space is "borrowed" from another person who also has his sites up there.   I feel confident though that if I could just copy the older working files onto the site again that "all would be well"   The "tree" is still there but somehow the files are incorrect and I don't even know how to remove them and start again.  I just can't seem to figure anything out.   I am very very new at all of this and have probably relied on others for much too long.
    Again, thank you so much for your time and effort.   I am still reading and looking  :-)
    Peace
    Pam

  • Need help with an assignment

    first of all, who has heard of the game called zuul? It is a very boring text based game I am currently having the pleasure of improving.
    Basically, you are in a room, that is connected to a bunch of other rooms and depending on the room you are in, you have different exists and different items in the room.
    The goal is to navigate through the collection of Rooms and there is no real win condition, It is more for learning then for actually playing.
    You navigate by a series of commands such as: go (direction)( as in "direction of exit", NSEW), quit, a few other odd bits.
    ex: go south, quit, go west etc
    The game has several classes: Game, Command, CommandWords, Item, Parser, Room.
    Obviously Game is the main central head conch, (it is not the super class.)
    Game makes use of Item, Room, Parser, and Command.
    Item is the class that deals with the number of items in the Room.
    Room is the class that deals with the rooms the player will navigate to and from.
    Command reads in the commands such as "go-(direction)" or "quit".
    Parser makes everybody understand each other by using both Command and CommandWords.
    CommandWords is a list of commands such as "go", "quit" etc.
    The problem I am having right now is to allow a player to move through the rooms while holding a certain item. The item has to come from the rooms and the player should be able to drop it.
    So I have to add two new commands: take and drop. The problem is that I have been asked to do this without creating a new class. Otherwise I would have just created class Player and be done with it. So I am trying to figure out whose responsibility should it be to take care of the take and drop command. I have done some preliminary work in class Game, it is the take(Command command) and drop() methods.
    I have also a few questions concerning other aspects of the project, I have listed their locations here:
    1. The take() method in class Game, the for-each loop, a complier error with ArrayList
    2. class Parser, a general question about the string tokenzier
    If you want to see how the game is suppose to run, just comment out the bodies of take() and drop(). Not the declaration. Everything else works.
    I shall now provide the code to all classes. I wish there were an option to upload a zip file, then you don't have to read through all the codes and copy&paste all the codes. The complier I am using is BlueJ. And the SDK version is 1.6. With the exception of class Game, everything else can be assumed to be error free.
    Thank you for your time,
    Davy

  • I need help putting Classical Music CDs into iTunes

    I need help - this question has lots of subquestions, sorry.
    I have found just a few discussions that deal with this but I am still confused. Forgive me if I get wordy and misuse technical terms - I am trying to learn this thing...
    I'm an iPod newbie and haven't a clue on the best way to organize my many, many classical CDs that I'd like to put onto my iPod Classic 160G. I'd also like to do this with as little fussing around as possible since there are lots of CDs I've got to deal with.
    If each CD is a separate entry [album?] in the playlist and titled with composer name first [ex Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, Titov conductor] I'll have several playlist entries with the same titles, but different contents. No problem really.
    But, should I separate it further, by having each concerto [say] be a separate entry in the playlist - without having to download the CD again. [I've just practiced on a few CDs but I imagine it being a problem if I had to download each CD several times - once for each work] Does it make sense to leave gaps between movements? [I'm not finding a way to remove gaps, though I have seen that suggested somewhere]
    And when I come to play the pieces, if I start playing a work in a playlist, will the iPod keep going from one movement to the next as it makes its way through the playlist - or will it stop at each movement and wait for me to tell it what to do next?
    Advanced Settings - are these the best? I'll be listening to music on an airplane using noise cancelling headphones and at destination attaching iPod to portable speakers to listen to music in hotel rooms.
    General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized - unchecked? [not sure what this means or does or doesn't do]
    Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library - checked?
    Importing: AAC encoder? High quality -128 kbps?
    Thanks for all your help - I know this is a multiple set of questions and perhaps should have been broken up...

    Thank you so much for your help. You have sorted out a lot of problems for me. I've tried to go through what you wrote, add some more info and I have asked a few more questions below-
    I re-ripped at 256. I too have the 160GB classic so it's good to know that it will take 10,000 tracks as lossless - now I have to re-rip again! I actually hadn't anticipated using the iPod with anything other than our high quality noise canceling airplane headphones, our cheap, portable travel speakers for hotel rooms and our Cambridge sound speakers for our cabin. It's that last set of speakers that makes me think I should follow you advice and go with lossless.
    QUESTION #1 - When I re-rip and do an automatic sync, will the tracks at 256 automatically be replaced by the bigger lossless ones with the same name or should I delete everything from the iPod and begin anew?
    "I create a playlist for each work, using a systematic naming convention..." What I did on my test was create a playlist for each composer breaking it down - ex- Bach:concertos, Bach:sonatas, etc. I have the Album column highlighted and it appears as if the movements stay together in the correct order. I fear that the task might be too large to create a playlist for each work, though that certainly is appealing.
    QUESTION #2 If the Album column is highlighted and the movements are in the correct order in iTunes in the playlist, will they stay that way in the iPod?
    "I tend to use just surnames for composers for example, or at least "surname, firstname"." I finally found in settings on the iPod the way to change sort by composer to last name, first name. In iTunes, the composer column which is imported from the internet search for info on the CDs gives composer with first name first and I can't find a place in iTunes to reverse this. Typing it or erasing the first name will be a huge chore.
    QUESTION #3 Is there a place in iTunes to change the order of the composers' name in the composer column?
    "For compilations etc I still create one for the whole CD or box set"
    I figured this out on my own before you corroborated my idea - I think I'm getting the hang of this...
    "The option iTunes has to "organise your music" is a good one"
    QUESTION #4 - are you referring to the preferences > advanced check box "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" ? If not, what are you referring to?
    "I have my library in its own dedicated disk. Wherever you put it, its important to then never change it or doing anything else with it: leave it for iTunes."
    QUESTION #5 "dedicated disk"? as in hard drive? I have been using SuperDuper to back up my Mac to an external HD; I plan to put a copy of the iTunes folder onto yet another HD where I keep copies of all our photos as well.
    "never change it"? I noticed a misspelling "Haendel" from the on-line CD/track info - no problem in fixing that - right? Since you later say you do change info, what is it you are never changing?
    QUESTION #6 - "Disk N of M capability" - what? Where do I find this option? And when you say "for multiple CD albums, don't include the cd number in the album name." Where? when you put the CD into a playlist entry? or just in the list of music in the album column - do you change the listing?
    ONE FINAL QUESTION - when I turn on the iPod when it's not attached to headphones or speakers, and I'm just looking at the screen to see settings or how the syncing worked, the iPod appears to begin playing something as soon as I turn it on. THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION, but I can't find the answer, how to I get it to stop playing without turning the iPod itself off???
    "I hope that helps a little. " A little?? It helps a lot - and I'll award those points as soon as I get it all resolved.
    Thanks again,
    Mrs H

    16. How many XML Containers do you have? For each one please specify:
    One.
    1. The Container Configuration Flags
              XmlContainerConfig xmlContainerConfig = new XmlContainerConfig();
              xmlContainerConfig.setTransactional(true);
    xmlContainerConfig.setIndexNodes(true);
    xmlContainerConfig.setReadUncommitted(true);
    2. How many documents?
    Everytime the user logs in, the current xml document is loaded from
    a oracle database table and put it in the Berkeley XML DB.
    The documents get deleted from XML DB when the Oracle application
    server container is stopped.
    The number of documents should start with zero initially and it
    will grow with every login.
    3. What type (node or wholedoc)?
    Node
    4. Please indicate the minimum, maximum and average size of
    documents?
    The minimum is about 2MB and the maximum could 20MB. The average
    mostly about 5MB.
    5. Are you using document data? If so please describe how?
    We are using document data only to save changes made
    to the application data in a web application. The final save goes
    to the relational database. Berkeley XML DB is just used to store
    temporary data since going to the relational database for each change
    will cause severe performance issues.
    17. Please describe the shape of one of your typical documents? Please
    do this by sending us a skeleton XML document.
    Due to the sensitive nature of the data, I can provide XML schema instead.
    18. What is the rate of document insertion/update required or
    expected? Are you doing partial node updates (via XmlModify) or
    replacing the document?
    The document is inserted during user login. Any change made to the application
    data grid or other data components gets saved in Berkeley DB. We also have
    an automatic save every two minutes. The final save from the application
    gets saved in a relational database.
    19. What is the query rate required/expected?
    Users will not be entering data rapidly. There will be lot of think time
    before the users enter/modify data in the web application. This is a pilot
    project but when we go live with this application, we will expect 25 users
    at the same time.
    20. XQuery -- supply some sample queries
    1. Please provide the Query Plan
    2. Are you using DBXML_INDEX_NODES?
    Yes.
    3. Display the indices you have defined for the specific query.
         XmlIndexSpecification spec = container.getIndexSpecification();
         // ids
         spec.addIndex("", "id", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         spec.addIndex("", "idref", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // index to cover AttributeValue/Description
         spec.addIndex("", "Description", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_SUBSTRING, XmlValue.STRING);
         // cover AttributeValue/@value
         spec.addIndex("", "value", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // item attribute values
         spec.addIndex("", "type", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // default index
         spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // save the spec to the container
         XmlUpdateContext uc = xmlManager.createUpdateContext();
         container.setIndexSpecification(spec, uc);
    4. If this is a large query, please consider sending a smaller
    query (and query plan) that demonstrates the problem.
    21. Are you running with Transactions? If so please provide any
    transactions flags you specify with any API calls.
    Yes. READ_UNCOMMITED in some and READ_COMMITTED in other transactions.
    22. If your application is transactional, are your log files stored on
    the same disk as your containers/databases?
    Yes.
    23. Do you use AUTO_COMMIT?
         No.
    24. Please list any non-transactional operations performed?
    No.
    25. How many threads of control are running? How many threads in read
    only mode? How many threads are updating?
    We use Berkeley XML DB within the context of a struts web application.
    Each user logged into the web application will be running a bdb transactoin
    within the context of a struts action thread.
    26. Please include a paragraph describing the performance measurements
    you have made. Please specifically list any Berkeley DB operations
    where the performance is currently insufficient.
    We are clocking 10-12 seconds of loading a document from dbd when
    five users are on the system.
    getContainer().getDocument(documentName);
    27. What performance level do you hope to achieve?
    We would like to get less than 5 seconds when 25 users are on the system.
    28. Please send us the output of the following db_stat utility commands
    after your application has been running under "normal" load for some
    period of time:
    % db_stat -h database environment -c
    % db_stat -h database environment -l
    % db_stat -h database environment -m
    % db_stat -h database environment -r
    % db_stat -h database environment -t
    (These commands require the db_stat utility access a shared database
    environment. If your application has a private environment, please
    remove the DB_PRIVATE flag used when the environment is created, so
    you can obtain these measurements. If removing the DB_PRIVATE flag
    is not possible, let us know and we can discuss alternatives with
    you.)
    If your application has periods of "good" and "bad" performance,
    please run the above list of commands several times, during both
    good and bad periods, and additionally specify the -Z flags (so
    the output of each command isn't cumulative).
    When possible, please run basic system performance reporting tools
    during the time you are measuring the application's performance.
    For example, on UNIX systems, the vmstat and iostat utilities are
    good choices.
    Will give this information soon.
    29. Are there any other significant applications running on this
    system? Are you using Berkeley DB outside of Berkeley DB XML?
    Please describe the application?
    No to the first two questions.
    The web application is an online review of test questions. The users
    login and then review the items one by one. The relational database
    holds the data in xml. During application load, the application
    retrieves the xml and then saves it to bdb. While the user
    is making changes to the data in the application, it writes those
    changes to bdb. Finally when the user hits the SAVE button, the data
    gets saved to the relational database. We also have an automatic save
    every two minues, which saves bdb xml data and saves it to relational
    database.
    Thanks,
    Madhav

    Could it be that you simply do not have set up indexes to support your query? If so, you could do some basic testing using the dbxml shell:
    milu@colinux:~/xpg > dbxml -h ~/dbenv
    Joined existing environment
    dbxml> setverbose 7 2
    dbxml> open tv.dbxml
    dbxml> listIndexes
    dbxml> query     { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }
    dbxml> queryplan { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }Verbosity will make the engine display some (rather cryptic) information on index usage. I can't remember where the output is explained; my feeling is that "V(...)" means the index is being used (which is good), but that observation may not be accurate. Note that some details in the setVerbose command could differ, as I'm using 2.4.16 while you're using 2.4.13.
    Also, take a look at the query plan. You can post it here and some people will be able to diagnose it.

  • Need Help Fast! Page is dispalying twice in quiz

    I have created a quiz using tips from another post in this
    forum. I insterted a regular slide with a continue button before
    the quiz questions. I insterted another regular slide at the end of
    the questions with a re-take button that points to that first
    slide. This part is working great. When I take the published quiz,
    I click the continue button, and instead of continuing, the slide
    redisplays. I click the button again, and it moves forward like
    it's supposed to. Any advice?
    I'm supposed to have these posted in our LMS today for
    testing, so I need help fast!!! Thanks!!

    What you're seeing is likely the result of a MS patch for IE
    in response
    to the Eolas patent suit.
    MS recently updated IE so any content shown in a page using
    the Embed,
    Object, or Script tags will need to be 'activated' before
    they can be
    clicked (or otherwise 'interacted with').
    Your home computer probably hasn't had the latest security
    rollup
    installed, is why you're not seeing the issue on that
    machine.
    There is a work around, many site mention it. This may be a
    good place
    to start:

  • Need help with boot up password

    Hi I need help with my IBM G41 think pad I when to sleep one night and I put some papers on the keys then close the lid with the papers in between on top of the keys now I get need a password when I started my PC can some some help me with this . Or is there any one whom had this some problem . I see a lock on the screen .

    Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but why don't you have the password already? did the computer just randomly lock you out of it? If that is the case, that would be really strange. If there is no bios password on the computer, you should be able to reset the password in the bios.
