I hate JAVA with a passion

[wetcat007]

Ok I've never ever gotten along with JAVA in my life. But it's slowly gotten worse and more and more unstable for me on multiple systems. Now whenever a java application starts up on my computer the screen goes completly black with only a cursor and then the cursor locks up, can't pull up task manager or anything have to hit the reset button. I tried uninstalling it and got the same problem. So deleted all the application data folders for java and the folder in Program Files, and than ran the uninstall and it seemed to work. Unfortunatly I need this program I hate so much so I had to reinstall it, got the latest version from java.com installed it, second I try to use Java again same issue.

Windows XP Pro SP2, all updates.

Anyone seen this problem before if so is windows hosed or is there a fix?

I'm not a big fan of Java apps on Windows, either, but I haven't had those kinds of problems. Not sure why you deleted the java directory and then ran the uninstall, but at this point sounds like you need to find a way to get the installation clean and then reinstall from scratch. The runtime environment itself is pretty small and uninvasive, but you might have some class packages sitting around that are either version mismatched or corrupted or something.

Basically, I suggest hunting down all the java classes, applets, registry keys, and folders, and cleaning them out as best you can, then reinstalling from the latest Sun runtime package (5.5 I think).

Hmm apparently java isn't compabtible with nvidia i changed some video card settings and that fixed it sorta.

 

[wetcat007]

Is there any way to get java also to not use stupid AA when i have it set in video settings for games.

 

[wetcat007]

It does it again when i change the settings back to how they were, they've been set like that for a long time without any problems. Clone Video DVI+TV, and full screen video overlay on tv. I use it to watch video from my computer on my TV all the time, and have had it set like this for a LONG time. Anyone have any idea or should i just keeping screaming when JAVA manages to completly lock my computer. Why is only JAVA able to do such a thing no other software apps I've ever worked with lock windows xp up to the point where u need to do a hard reset.

Life sucks with JAVA, and the code that I wrote here describes my life with JAVA, and as it seems from it ,I will never die, and JAVA programming will suck more than the time before 🙁.

int everytime-I-prgm-in-JAVA-Sucks, JAVA-prgrming-Sucks = 0;
boolean everytime-I-prgrm-in-JAVA = true;
int My-Death = 0;

while (everytime-I-prgrm-in-JAVA) {
JAVA-prgrming-Sucks++;
}

I still use MS Virtual Machine 3805 with the 3810 patch and the curent Java Sun Runtime 5 Update 6 (as of a couple days ago) only as a possible backup alternate. There are concerns with security issues as the MS VM has not been updated since way back when, but I've had absolutely no problems. My biggest objection to the Sun java was that the fonts did not look anywhere near as smooth.

i can see why ur having trouble, all your identifiers are illegal, try using _ instead of -
😛

That and I think his while statement is invalid....also defined 2 int variables which aren't used.

System.out.println("You guys take thinks too literally");

Shouldn't that be
if(atUsersDontGetJokes == true)
{blah}

? I don't recall if you need to put that in the if statement if it's a boolean.

that's redundant....
the if is expecting a boolean value, the '==' is a binary operator that compares two values and 'returns' a boolean value.....
so you are doing an extra redundant step...
the if(atUsersDontGetJokes) is the correct way of doing things,
and if(atUsersDontGetJokes == false) would be if(!atUsersDontGetJokes)

Try this version of java: https://mustang.dev.java.net/
I think it fixed the AA prob.

Java was the biggest pain in the a** one time for me. I wanted to install it so that i could install limewire 😛, and it tells me that it cannot be installed. So what did i do? I formatted of course. So yea........i pretty much hate java
