LOCK, I fixed it myself. YCM is stoopidd. :D

[Dark]

Don't feel offended, but I feel like an idiot posting my TECHNOLOGY problems here. But know this: if you can't offer any help, GTFO of this thread. I don't need your spam here.

 

Before you post a solution, I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY INTERNET EXPLORER VERSION, MY INTERNET HOST OR MY VIRUS SOFTWARE. GIVE ME A SOLUTION THAT INVOLVES JAVA AND ACTIVEX.

 

Problem: Dust on NotDoppler won't load. The error says "Java has failed to run this application."

 

What I have: Internet Explorer 7*, Java 6 (Update 17)

 

*The only reason I have IE7 instead of IE8 is because McAfee is being a complete retard and is not compatible with IE8.

 

That's about it. If you need more information, just ask.

 

I'll probably offer 1 or 2 reps as a reward.

 

GOGOGO.

 

EDIT: It's just not Dust that fails to work, it seems as though most Java applications won't work. Serebii.net chatrooms won't work either.

hmm. do you ahve the latest Version of Java installed?

[Dark]

Yeah, 6.17 is the latest update for Java. <_

[JG.]

It seems that the instant I find that game, everyone has troubles with it xD And I take it you're clever enough to have installed the latest Java version, so I won't say that. But check anyways. If not, is there a way to find Java Settings? If so, try there.

Already have latest update. I checked the Java settings, and it seems normal.

 

This is the error I get for Dust, and it's similar for the Serebii chatrooms.

I fixed my own problem, in a way that was quite funny.

 

Control Panel >> Java >> Advanced >> Default Java for Browsers

 

I've been looking at a lot of self-help tech sites, and they told me I needed to have "Microsoft Internet Explorer" ticked.

 

It was, but I wanted to try something. I was planning on unticking it, restarting IE, making sure Java failed, ticking it, restarting IE, and see what happened.

 

After I unticked it, and I went to Dust, it started working. Serebii chatrooms also started working.

 

It was quite weird, but I'm leaving it unticked until I can find another solution.

 

Someone can lock this now.
