horsecharles Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 MS 'hopes' to switch the world over from Java to 'Visual'....And the Java interfacing situation has done a complete about-face: years ago the Sun Java didn't work at many sites-- one had to have MS Java; now i see sometimes sites that require Sun & using the MS version doesn't work.....

erpdude8 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 MS Java is history but Mdgx has listed the MS Java build 3809 and 3810 downloadsat his Addons page:http://www.mdgx.com/add.htmLook in the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine section.I haven't found or encountered any sites that specifically use Sun Java so I do notneed it. non-IE Web browsers I use (Opera 8 beta 1, Mozilla 1.75, Netscape 7.2and Firefox 1.0) work fine w/out Sun Java.let me know if there are any web sites that actually use sun java.Are we getting closer to 2.0 rc2 or 2.0 final yet?

horsecharles Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Off the top, I have an investment data subscription site that wants us to use Sun only-- likely to avoid spending time w/ tech support issues-- funny because I remember 3-5 years ago only MS Java worked at that same site.Broadband Reports seems to favor Sun: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/5160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gape Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 RC2 is ready. I think I will release it on Friday. Sorry, it is not final, but it is very stable and reliable. I strongly believe that it is latest RC release.Someone has reported shut down problem, I'm working on it now. Does anybody have shut down problem?

Acheron Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Gape, as long as you keep altering the SP it stays RC.So when you feel RC1 was fine, you ment RC1 = Final.You can't release an altered package as final after RC1 when it's not tested yet. So of course the following version will be RC2, hopefully RC2 = Final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredledingue Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I have e-mail this problem to the author but it's enough important to be reposted here:I Installed W98SP2_sesp20rc1. (All the components except one, but I don'tremember which one.) and I ran across a huge problem:I was not able to use my computer anymore!! After restart, the mouse was moving but I couldn't clic any icon, the keyboardwas not working, thus no win-key and emergency restart possible. Nothing wasworking except the "reset" button on the computer case... I succeeded my way out by typing, after restart Ctrl+Alt+Del during the desktopstart up, just after the green-blue desktop appear, just before the taskbar orthe icon.Then in the "close program" dialog box" I canceled some tasks at random. Bydoing this 2 or 3 times, I succefuly made a working restarted environement . I let the 3 or 4 first task going on, but ended the next ones.Then I promptly reinserted my original W98SE installation disk and made areinstall over.After the reinstallation, I had the compensation of finding TweakUI in thecontrol panel...So I guess some of the stuff were installed moreles successfuly and my computer works fine.I did the upgrade on an old install and it was the first upgrade I ever did.I have French(Belgian) lnguage installed. I'v read thatone must have the english version thought I wonder if it makes a differenceconcerning the total freeze of my PC...What do you advice me to do at this stage? Maybe trying again with an earlier version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'v read thatone must have the english version thought I wonder if it makes a difference concerning the total freeze of my PC...SP is only for ENGLISH version of Windows 98 SE. Sorry, but you cannot use SP on a localized Windows. Someone made a French version of the SP. But I don't remember the address of it. Please, search the forum. (Don't forget that, I only support English Windows 98 SE).Do you know the "Safe Mode"? If your Windows doesn't open normally, you should try "Safe Mode".

Fredledingue Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 How do I restart in safe mode?I know what it is, but I never founf out how to intentionaly start in safe mode.I didn't know "ENGLISH" was so important. So now we will know that it's very dangerous to run the pack on non english platforms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsecharles Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Courtesy of ComputerHopeWindows 98 / ME Users To get into Windows 98 / ME safe mode as the computer is booting you press and hold your "F8 key" on the top of your keyboard or press and hold the left or right Ctrl key as the computer is booting. If done properly you should get into the "Windows 98 / ME Startup Menu" similar to the below screen example. In this menu choose option 3 by pressing the 3 key and press enter. Note: With some computers if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message as the computer is booting. If this occurs instead of pressing and holding the "F8 key" tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu. Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu============================= 1. Normal2.
