Why do i always get the Japanese version of JRE/JDK?

why do i always get the Japanese version?
i am in tokyo and i just want to get the English version of JRE and JDK. Why is it so difficult, I have been trying for the last 8 hours to find mirrors and other versions and installing all of them only to see they are all in Japanese and I don't know why. I checked my settings, my local language is German or English, i.e. not Japanese, and always I install it it's in Japanese and afterwards I get the compiler messages in Japanese and I don't understand them.
And then... why is it so difficult to make a comment at sun? i have been to ibm's page and google, you just fill out a form send it, it takes 5 secs, here it takes 20 minutes to find where you can ask a question, then some more to fill out the questionaire...
could you pls tell me where to get the US/english version for jre 1.4.2.x and jdk 1.4.2.x?

You probally ARE getting the english version. If you are using a japanese version of windows or an english version of windows with the locale setting set to Japan then all of the menus (including the installer) will be displayed in japanese. So it just seems like you are installing a japanese version.
To check your local in windows 2000 go to the control panel and then choose regional options. Then, select the general tab and change your locale to one of the English locales. Also, if you want to keep your locale setting set to Japan there are other workarounds. However, first try this.

  • I have downloaded 15 versions of Firefox this week - 8 were on Wednesday. Why can't I get the latest version the first time I download instead of having to download each change even though you make 8 changes in one day. This is getting tiresome.!!!!!

    When I first pull up Firefox it often says I'm not using the latest version. I go to the download page and start the download. Then when its completed and the start page comes up it usually says I don't have the latest version. I went through 8 downloads on Wednesday January 4 before I got the latest. Why didn't I get the latest version the first time I downloaded.?

    Firefox 9.0.1 is the latest release version.
    Which page do you have set as your Homepage or Start Page?
    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. Not being maintained by Google and it shows all versions of Firefox as needing to be updated, even pre-release tester versions that are months away from being released to the public at large.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • Why Can't I get the latest version of Adobe Muse?!

    After reading countless forums, I came to the conclusion that if I have a 32-bit operating system, I am unable to get the latest version of Muse? Can somebody please confirm this for me or at least give me instruction on how to get the latest version. Currently I have version 7.4 Build 30, CL 784238 AIR Runtime: 17.0.0.144
    I have tried countless workarounds:
    1. Uninstalled & re-installed Adobe Creative Cloud
    2. Deleted the OOBE.db files
    3. Run Adobe Creative Cloud Utility Tool
    4.Manually installing Adobe Muse (separate from the Creative Cloud)

  • Why do i always get the "forsee survey popup" with Firefox ?- no add ons installed

    Every time i install firefox even on a brand new system, i always get these "Foresee survey" pop ups on the browser. It's not a seperate window popup, but rather a box that appears on the browser itself. I receive these pop ups when visiting websites like walmart, amazon and other websites where you can make purchases. I do not download any add ons on firefox nor do i have any viruses or spyware as this is a new system with nothing downloaded or installed but the stock apps and i have already run a full sys scan. I have noticed for the longest time i get these pop ups on every system i install firefox on and it only happens with the firefox browser. Does anyone know how i can stop these pop ups without having to install an add on to stop them? I find it unnecessary and a little intrusive to be receiving these pop ups. It means that there is some stock extension on firefox that tracks what websites i visit and thus triggers the pop up survey which leads me to be concerned about my privacy. This almost breaks my preference of the browser.

    That seems like your problem there - I'm guessing the http user can't access the /home/icefox/ path
    Hello , fukawi2
    Thanks for your help , you made me realized that , I did change the permission for /home/icefox directory.
    What I did for resolving this problem is , modify the /home/icefox permission , make icefox group can access this folder and add http user to icefox group , then , problem resolved.
    thanks , fukawi2 !

  • Why do I always get the spinning wheel of death when trying to open a CC program??

    It eventually opens or stalls out and I have to try again.  Waaay sloooow - My CS5.5 is better - what's the deal?  Using Mac OS X Lion and have plenty of memory.
    Is anyone else having this problem? - I don't have time to wait several minutes for the program to open.

    Hi bludetailsdesigns,
    You can try these & check.
    1.If internet is fine then this might be becase of Creative cloud files, please try the steps metioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launchin g-cc.html and see if it works.
    2.Please navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db and trash it. Try to launch CC desktop and sign in with your Adobe Id (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-f iles.html) .
    {Note for step 2: The file is in the user Library, not the Applications folder. To see the hidden user Library (not the system Library) in the Finder click on the Go menu item and then hold down the Alt / Option key. You will see Library appear between Home and Computer. Click onLibrary and then navigate to Application Support > Adobe > OOBE.
    Alternatively open the Terminal and paste in the following and then press the Enter / Return key:
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, This will also delete the file}
    Hope it works.

  • If I'm in Lightroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updat

    If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
    If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
    Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

    In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
    Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
    Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
    I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

  • Why I always get the error(ORA-00600)?

    Why I always get the error(ORA-00600)?
    My database Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 I installed Oracle Jdeveloper 9i on my computer.
    OS:windows2000
    My program:
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    con =java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:1521:db","developer","12345");
    java.sql.Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
    java.sql.ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select task_title from task");
    while (rs.next()){              
         //getInformation
         String fjbh=rs.getString("task_title");
    If I use this in a common java program(like MyParser.java). It will work well:
    D:\JavaApp> java MyParser
    but If I put the code into a JSP file . It will not work.I tried several times.
    I find that the statment:
         java.sql.ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select task_title from task");
    will throw the exception.It seemd that I can connect to the database ,
    but can not execute some sql statment.
    If I execute this sql statment:
         select sysdate from dual ;
         or
         select task_ID from task ; --task_id is a column with the type NUMBER(10)
    it will work.
    but if I execute :
         select Task_Title from task where task_id=1; --Task_Title is a column with the type VARCHAR(50)
         or
         select t.task_text.getCLOBVal() task_Text from task t where task_ID=1;
                   --task_text is a column with the type XMLTYPE, I use this column save XMLFile.
    it will not work.
    the detail error information as follow:
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ttcgcshnd-1], [0], [], []

    It is a database bug (an ORA-0600 almost always is). In this case it is bug# 1725012. You can see the details from MetaLink. There are some patches (by platform) available you should see which may apply to you.

  • Why do cloud subscribers get Adobe Story Plus while CS6 owners only get the free version?

    After putting it off since its release, I finally decided to try Story.  I'm very happy with my existing screenwriting software but hey, there are these great integration benefits with the post production software I spend my life in so why not? 
    Well, I just found out those of us who purchased CS6 get the free version of Story while cloud subscribers get Plus.  Why?  This feels like I'm being penalized for having opted to upgrade from CS5.5 rather than switching over to the cloud.  I realize there's a $10 a month option to get Plus but dropping an extra $120 a year when I'm already happy with Movie Magic Screenwriter doesn't make financial sense to me.  The only reason I was going to try using Story was for the scheduling tools and the workflow integration but that integration should be part of the Production Premium Suite, not $120 extra per year.
    I upgraded to CS6 the day it was released so obviously I can't go back and switch to the cloud and I'm not spending $120 a year so I guess I wont use Story. 
    Very disappointing Adobe.

Have you every been able to successfully download apps to the machine without getting the error message?

  • Why can I not get the most updated version of a web page? I have cleared cookies and history.

    I am trying to access our soccer club website and was informed by the club president that the website was updated, however, when I try to open it, I get the old version with last year's information. I have cleared cookies and history. Any ideas?

    Have you tried a different web browser, if you have one, to see if the site loads correctly?
    You could choose to run Safari, Firefox, SeaMonkey, or maybe another (avoid chrome)
    and have a few options in how some pages load, or be able to choose if some sites
    prefer a different browser. My macs all have at least three browsers. Some are dedicated.
    PS: did they confirm the site is still using the same URL web address?
    Hopefully you can get the sites you need to visit, to work.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • It's happened twice in the last month- I suddenly can't open my Pages documents unless I get the new version (for $20!) What is going on??!!

    Some documents, but not others, that I've created/edited/printed and worked with JUST RECENTLY suddenly won't open UNLESS I get the new version of Pages (for $20!!) I just edited some of these a couple of days ago! I edited one, printed it, etc. Now I need to look at it again and it WON'T open! I "need the new version of Pages??! What if I don't want to suddenly shell out $20 to work with documents I made on the version I already have? And why do SOME documents now look different (in a new style) while others look like they always have, and function normally?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • I accidentally cleared all my cookies. Now I get the Japanese home page and I want ONLY the English home page

    I accidentally cleared all my cookies. Now I get the Japanese home page and I want ONLY the English home page. I was on the home page at the time & I copied the address. It is still in my preferences section. but even when I paste it in, I still get the Japanese site. How do I get the English site back, and ensure that I never see the japanese site on my computer ever again?

    Some sites automatically redirect you to a site in the local language.
    There is usually a link on such websites choose a language or go to an international version that allows to chose the language.
