Dave-H Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Well I've fixed mine too! All I had to do in fact was to disable and re-enable the "Enable Java content for browser and Web Start applications" option in the Java Control Panel Security tab, and it all came good. The IE option in the Java Control Panel Advanced tab is now checked and staying checked. The Mozilla one still isn't staying checked, but it was always like that before, and it works in Firefox anyway even without it checked. What the problem actually was I have no idea, but I guess something just needed resetting. It's working fine in IE8 now! Thanks everyone. Cheers, Dave.

dencorso Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Me too. Your tip did the trick! Thanks! However, the presence of the older java requires a direct link to the Java Test Page. This link does work: https://www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp?detect=jre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luweitest Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 To get rid of JRE 1.8.0_152 install file, I compared the registry, made a reg file as attachment, and got 1.8.0_202 running without install 152 first. I tested https://www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp with IE8, it works. But... Is there any web page that still needs java to function? And now only IE8 on XP can run java. I recall using a college VPN with java, yet it was long ago. Now I only need java for Davmail. JRE 1.8.reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, many companies, including my own, rely on Java applet plug-in for intranet sites that have been around for "The Ages." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRE 1.8.reg It works for IE8, but if you want it to work with Mozilla-family browsers (FF 52 ESR, NM, Basilisk, SeaMonkey), you need more entries to register Java as an NPAPI plug-in: DTPlugin.reg JavaPlugin.reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although ESR version is said to work, yet after importing the two reg file, https://www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp?detect=jre still do not work here (applet loaded, but "cannot verify certificate" error), nor any test pages work (security white list have been added): https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~lyuu/Capitals/javatst.htm (ClassNotFoundException) http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~hseltman/javatest/ (NullPointerException) ...etc. But IE8 works for all of them. Does Firefox need some other configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathwiz Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Both of your test sites use certificates signed by untrusted roots, so you have to add them as exceptions in the Java control panel applet. If you do that the CMU applet still has problems, but the other works fine on Roytam1's latest Serpent build: Oracle's "Verify Java Version" page also works. Did I leave something out of those .reg files? You should see something like this in Tools / Add-Ons / Plugins: HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Mozilla broke something.... Well, I'm stumped. I just downloaded and installed FF 52.9.1 and Java works for me, the same as in Basilisk. The only thing I did to the new 8u202 install was to copy jp2launcher.exe from the old 8u152 install. Everything else is exactly as installed. Edit: I'm uploading one more .reg file. It's only needed if the Java applet isn't in your control panel. That happened to me after I uninstalled an earlier Java version. javacpl.reg Edited February 27, 2019 by Mathwiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is exactly as installed. Firefox problem solved. I did not recall my IE and Firefox have different proxy setting. IE uses a http proxy while Firefox uses socks. Both proxy are opened by Freeproxy 4.1 on the same win7 machine. Changed Firefox to use http proxy also, and all test pages work. So I build a new socks proxy using Delegate, which works fine. So unexpectedly the culprit is Freeproxy. I have used Freeproxy for a long time without any problem, until now. Delegate is the way to go! 15 hours ago, Mathwiz said: New versions of jp2launcher don't seem to be compatible with Windows XP. I've been copying jp2launcher.exe from 8u152 and using that. I'm not sure what, if any, functionality I'm losing, but it seems to work. When using java plugin, jp2launcher is also called, and it runs OK. Error occurs only when opening jnlp file. The difference is jnlp is opened by javaws.exe first, then javaws.exe calls jp2launcher. So maybe javaws.exe is the culprit, but neither file copied from 8u152 works for me. Even if I install 8u152, jnlp error persists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
