Windows Xp Home Edition/SP1a problem

I'm having a very serious problem. I am a user of a pc at home, not a business. I cannot enable Java. The download package installed and the Java Console settings are as recommended in the Help section. I have tried every suggestion and procedure without success. All the appropriate check boxes have been marked and security settings adjusted as required. No applets will run. Disabling my Norton antivirus and personal firewall doesn't help. Not even Norton's website locator will work. Has Microsoft done something to completely disable Java? I did find the Microsoft tech bulletin explaining their dispute with Sun and that they are removing Java from their products. However, shouldn't the Sun Java software still work?
Is it necessary to format my hard drive and do a complete clean install of Windows Xp Home to get this working again. Java used to work without a problem. However, after some automatic updates were installed about a month ago from Microsoft over the web, Java would not work anymore.
I enjoy the Java games and functionality. I'm totally frustrated and I don't know what to do. Your kind assistence would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Jay Carsman

this might be hearsy (but it's getting more likely):
billy g made it so that installing sp1 on an xp machine would prevent installing java. Solution: clean install xp, install java, install sp1 (will not uninstall java). This is probably just as illegal as preventing windows installing onto DR-DOS (remember that?).
I HATE windows! Go with linux man!

Problem with PC Suite and Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

I installed PC Suite on my desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit installed. I was able to eventually run PC Suite (granted it needed to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode) and sync my calendar on my W518a cell phone with PC Suite via Bluetooth communications. After I turned off my computer and restarted it, I could no longer open up PC Suite...its icon appears in my system tray with a red X over it as if it can't find the program.
The SonyEricsson website indicates PC Suite can run with Windows 7.
What is causing the problem I am having? How do I get this corrected?

I have downloaded and reinstalled the PC Suite software. Although it is not working as well as it should, as long as I have my cell phone on with Bluetooth enabled prior to clicking on the icon to open the application, it seems to work OK. Otherwise, when it opens, it just hangs and the only way you can close the program is to get into Task Manager and force it closed when its status is showing as "Not Responding". I also have found that just "closing" the PC Suite window does not close the application...you have to click on the option to "Exit the Application" otherwise you continue to have it in your system tray with a red X over the icon.

J2ee on windows 2000 home edition ? installation problems.

(i) I am trying to install j2ee on windows 2000 home edition. It simply does not install. On careful look at the download website I find that j2ee is meant for 2000 pro only. Is there a way I can install j2ee on home edition ? or it is simply not supported by Java Tech.
(ii) I am actually trying to run an application (.jar). Is there a way I can run that application is j2ee is not supported on home edition ?
(iii) There is no error message when I try to install j2ee. I have downloaded the self extracting file meant for windows (j2eesdk-1_4-dr-windows-eval.exe). I double-click the icon for this file. It launches a small popup and displays... extracting...installing....deleting temp files....Thats all.... Nothing more. When I do the same process on 2000 pro........ it does exactly the same, but at the end it pops up a new window asking my preference for installation directory, and displays a lengthy procedure for installation.
Any help.
Thanks in advance,
Vivek Ranjan

You are most likely hitting this problem:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4887990.html
One way to workaround this would be to rename your distribution to .zip file, extract it using Winzip or similar utility into some temporary directory. Then run this from command prompt (you must first go to the directory where you unzipped the distribution):
package\jre\bin\java -cp .;package\PackageFormat.jar -Duser.home=<writable_temp_dir> -Xmx256m appserv
This will start install wizard - once you get past the installation bootstrap problem, J2EE SDK should run on Windows XP Home Edition.

Installation 10g on Windows XP Home Edition

When I try to install 10g on my Windows XP Home Edition, I get a error message, "oui.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Whats that all about?

Windows XP Home is not a supported platform for Oracle. I have heard some people have been able to get it to work but usually not without a lot of tinkering. General rule of thumb -- Windows anything Home edition is not supported by Oracle. My suggestion is if you have the disk space, install VMware and put a Linux distro like Centos in it and install Oracle on that. Or go the dual boot route.

Error message downloading j2se 1.5.0 on windows XP home edition (SP2)

Hello:
I am getting the following error message attempting to install the j2se 5.0 on my windows XP home edition (SP2):
"Error JavaTM installer
The installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so please try installing at a later time as these file might be only temporarily unavailable."
There is a bug report:
Bug ID: 6237992
Tested Bundle: 5.0u2_b09 JDK iftw on staging site
http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Tested O/S: XP-Home (sp2)
Problem:
The installer throws error messages. I tried on three different
XP-Home (sp2) machines in our lab. It throws error message the very first or second time and after that, it seems to work fine.
Steps to reproduce:
1) On XP-Home(sp2) machine, try to download and install the JDK iftw bundle from
http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
2) During the installation the first or second time, one of the following messages thrown:
A) "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"
B) Error - Java Installer
"This installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version, please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so, please try installing at a later time, as these files might be only temporary unavailable"
This problem seems to occur on XP-Home(sp2). When error message pops up, keep trying it, it 's eventually OK. It may confuse consumers at the first two times.
xxxxx@xxxxx 2005-03-09 05:11:47 GMT"
I have tried the downloading five times to no avail, both by double clicking, and using the windows run utility. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am getting the same error when opening the J2se Development Kit 5.0 Update 8 after I press the Run button. ( "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package").
Is there a solution ?
Thanks,

Oracle 8.1.7 Release 3 on Windows XP Home Edition

Hi,
I'm trying to install the personal oracle 8.1.7 in a laptop which is an windows xp home edition. The installer doesn't start!
Is it a compatibility problem?
What should i do now to install oracle?

Tom,
Thanks for replying.
I don't see what I can compile. The initial program I am trying to compile is very simple it has a connect statement followed by the definition of a cursor, the cursor is opened and the fetch is performed. The program crashes on performing the open of the cursor. It seems to me that Pro*C is producing C output that the comipilers, (cl.exe in the visual studio .Net IDE, or mingw gcc for win32), cannot turn into runnable code on the Windows XP Professional platform. Pro*C is not open source code so I cannot recompile that, Microsoft cl.exe is most definately not open source. gcc is open source and I suppose I could recompile that but surely the mingw win32 compiler should work as it is standard and widely used. Anyway the output of both the compilers fails. Maybe I will compile gcc for my installation but it seems to me like Pro*C is probably the culprit here and trying to run the Oracle 8.1.7 version on XP may not be possible. I posted here in case this is a known problem.
Another thought has just occured to me that maybe I should try running a 10g or 9i version of Pro*C on the 8.1.7 installation. How would I get this? Would I have to install the whole installations to get the binary?

How can I get a boot-disk for a Compaq P2500 laptop Windows XP Home Edition?

I'm already in another forum with a eerily similar question, but that's for the HP Media Center Pavilion m8000e desktop system (Windows Vista Home Premium) I was just given; I've ordered a new hard drive for that. I assume the directions to create a boot disk with the *.iso file (using Imgburn) is going to work; I have the 25-digit code for that.
This question here now is for my wife's older Compaq P2500 2596US laptop running Windows XP Home Edition. This too needs a new hard drive, but I also am missing the boot disc for this; I do have the 25-digit product code.
How can I get a boot disk for this laptop? I tried the Ubuntu method outlined in a few posts; geez, what a headache ... never could get it managed. Does HP not make any boot disks available? Microsoft told me to check with HP.
I can furnish the product code; model #; serial# ... gee, maybe the oroginal receipt is even laying around somewhere ...
I need a boot disk to get the new hard drive up on board (if I end up ordering that).
Thanks for any help!

Windows XP Home Edition Clients

We recently switched from a Windows NT 4 Server (as PDC) to a Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. Basically everything works fine (Mac clients, Win2k clients, Win XP Prof. clients) but we have a lot of trouble with our three laptops with Windows XP Home Edition. Sure, the XP Home clients cannot be members of our PDC domain, but browsing the network environment and connecting to shared volumes (with individual authentication) always worked with the NT4 PDC.
Now, with the OS X Server PDC it does not work well. We have long delays (always), no connections at all (sometimes), Windows Explorer crashes (sometimes), computers missing in the domain view on other clients (sometimes) etc. Worse, the OS X Server is affected too. Looking at the status of the Windows service (with the Server Admin app) takes a long time or does not refresh at all.
I already tried to restart services and reboot computers (including the OS X Server).
In the Windows File Service log (on the OS X Server) we have a lot of entries like this:
[2007/02/02 09:34:35, 0] /SourceCache/samba/samba-100.5/samba/source/smbd/service.c:make_connection(805) **** (192.168.210.84) couldn't find service mzep
Please note, that the shared volume (my home directory) is named "mzepf" -- not "mzep". The last letter is missing (and this also happens with other shared volumes).
What's going on here? Any help? Thanks!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Please note, that the shared volume (my home
directory) is named "mzepf" -- not "mzep". The last
letter is missing (and this also happens with other
shared volumes).
I've seen this truncating of share names discussed elsewhere - it seems to be accepted as a non-fatal bug (in Samba I think). I don't recollect it being discussed in conjunction with the type of problems you are experiencing but otherwise cannot comment on your problems (I've very little experience of integrating windows clients).

MANY issues after installing Windows XP Home Edition with Boot Camp

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: "This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?" When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: Some of these problems may not be specifically "Application" related, but the top one mainly is. (in my views)
~Twilight

Twilight:
Is it possible that you installed Windows XPSP1 instead of the required SP2? If yes then that is cause of all of your issues listed in your post. You have no sound and you cannot connect wirelessly because you still have been unable to install the boot camp drivers when you inserted the leopard disk.
Please double check to see which version of windows XP did you install. Remember, you need windows XPSP2 for all this to work.
Now, in the event that you installed XPSP1 then you will need to get to the microsoft windows site on a different computer and burn the Service Pack 2 for windows XP on a CD. After that boot your apple mac to XP side and insert the Service Pack 2 disk and install the pack. After that, it will ask you to restart the computer which you must and then once fully booted into XP then insert the leopard CD again and see if takes and installs all the necessary drivers.

10.4.11, VMware Fusion and Windows XP (Home Edition) works just fine

OK, so I'm through the installation of VMware Fusion and Windows XP (Home Edition) and I have to say that it was pretty much point and click as advertised. All network services seem to be working and I'm running both OS side-by-side with out a hitch.
Haven't put the system through any rigorous test yet, like VPN, network printing or rending large graphic files, but the installation, setup and normal operation went smoothly taking about an hour in total.
Machine: MacBook Pro, 1.8Ghz with 1G of RAM memory and dual monitors.
Host OS: MacOS 10.4.11

I now have installed XP Pro into a Boot Camp Partition. Basically point and shoot. Then while booted in XP I used PC Mover to migrate my old PC to the Boot Camp partition. With the exception of one program and my virus and firewall programs all went well, almost point and shoot. Then I installed VMWares Fusion and used my Boot Camp partition as the source. If you follow instructions from VMWare things work relatively problem free.
After posting questions on VMwares site about processing video and compiling DVDs in Windows using Fusion I decided that such processor intensive requirements are best handled in the Boot Camp (native) mode.
The biggest problem I have encountered is that Microsoft Office constantly asks to be reactivated when switching between Boot Camp startup and Fusion. No solution I know of, except not to use Office in Boot Camp Mode. Secondly XP Pro required a re-authorization from Microsoft so I could run it in both Boot Camp and Fusion modes. Obtaining the authorization (activation code) from Microsoft was not a problem.

Unable to submit form through Windows XP Home edition

Hi All Gurus,
I am facing a strange problem with Windows XP Home edition users. We are mailing a survey form having some radio button, textarea, text box for each question asked and "Submit" button. When the user opens the mail, fill the survey form and press the submit button the form disappears, whereas users of other operating systems are able to submit the same form.
Can someone help me urgently.
Thanks
Manu

You should also be aware that Microsoft is facing a lot of pressure to close security holes in Outlook Express. One such hole is the ability to "execute" programs that are contained inside emails.
Being able to submit a form directly from the email itself is one such potential security problem. For example, I could write a JavaScript routine that looks for files on the user's hard disk and mails that file as soon as the email itself is opened, by using the onload( ) property. Similarly, it is also possible to deposit cookies.
I realize you need to solve the problem now, but at some point when it is convenient to do so, you will need to sit down with the rest of your team and think about alternative ways to send people surveys.
Your survey would not work for me, despite the fact that I'm not using Windows XP HE, because my email program will not execute any HTML, it just simply displays the tags. I configured it that way to avoid security problems, namely trojan horses and spyware, and more and more people are disabling their email programs every day. You may just have to settle for emailing people a hypertext link to a web site with the form on it.

I have a Windows XP Home Edition computer. I recently attempted to upgrade iTunes to v10.7. It loaded and installed OK, but now it won't run. When I try to launch it, it gets aborted by the windows Data Execution Prevention software. Any ideas?

Yes, this did solve the problem. But I had some trouble updating QuickTime. It failed, with the installer complaining that it did not have the required permissions to install the files it needed in the program directory. I got it to work by telling it to install the files to another directory. All seems well now - Thanks!
