LOL, ok, was thinking maybe this was on some Dinosaur, and didn't know it was after a reboot, etc.. Just installed yesterday on an old Tbird, and it did the same thing, but was working, just slowly...

[All Kill3r]

heh, its ok.

thanks for the help, that did the trick Rodzilla

That's cuz Java is a HOG!!!! Update your Java and you should be better too! ;)

[eddy]

I get the same problem.
I got an a64 3400 and a gig of ram with WinXP
I installed the new java and with that I get a blank screen. I try d2ol and i get a blank screen.
nothing works.

[Rodzilla]

Hmmmmm.... did you uninstall your java first? Then use the new version and re-boot.

[eddy]

Yes I did.
I install the new Java version and the screen goes black.
Before I even got a blue screen. I don't remember everything it said, but something about an ati*****.dll file.

:confused: Somehting with the Graphics driver maybe... Try installing a newer driver?

[freecableguy]

I have the same problem...even AFTER installing the new Java. ????

Ok. This is officially an issue. :(

I'll suggest that you totally uninstall your java and re-install is from here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html You want the top one (SDK)

Unfortunately the server is down :rolleyes: so we can't dl from it.

I can't post it on my site as it's too large... :lol: I only have 10MB! :lol:

Another reason to have our own D²OL server!! Kazoo :stick: he he he

You might also need to clear out the java plugins from this folder before re-installing. C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files (Or C:\WINNT... for Win2000 & NT)

If this doesn’t work then just sit tight. I'll get all over this issue tomorrow on the D²OL forums. I hope this works.

[freecableguy]

Well....still nothing. Blank screen. BTW, server is back up apparently. I am trying to get my EE "folding" for the team here....

Anyone! :help:

I'll get with some support pros tomorrow morning about this. (This is why we don't like java based apps :( )

[PS2pcGAMER]

If you are getting a blank install screen, do other java apps work?

[Rodzilla]

Another idea... did you try the D²OL install with and without the packaged Java???

Recommended Download (With Java Virtual Machine)

Click Here to Start Download with JVM (http://www.sengent.com/ddesign/installers/D2OL/Windows/VM/installDDOL.exe)

Experts Only (No Java Virtual Machine)

Click Here to Start Download no JVM (http://www.sengent.com/ddesign/installers/D2OL/Windows/NoVM/installDDOL.exe)

[bachus_anonym]

i had exaclty same idea, Rodzilla.... i was always using non-java package and it always worked...

If you use the non java install you will need to Download the java package off of Sun... so maybe they don't play nice together?

[Rodzilla]

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

And this just might work!!!!

Use the VM!!!!!!

Prolly all people with an ATI card and Anti-Aliasing forced on?
Since Cat 4.9 there is a bug, very nasty. Everytime I got to do some Java stuff on my pc, I got to change the driver settings. :(
---
Attempting to play a Java based game or visit a Java based website results in display corruption under Windows XP when either an ATI RADEON 9800 SE or RADEONâ„¢ X800 XT Platinum card installed and AA is enabled. Further information on this issue can be found at: http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4570.html

Oh and same problem hapens with a X800Pro too. I can personally confirm that ;)

[Creep-DK]

I think Rodzilla might be on to something, i've installed the VM version on 4 diff. rigs here, don't think any of them has newest java installed....but i've had no problems whatsoever.

[All Kill3r]

i was having the issue with the newest beta cat's on an x800pro. But i updated JAVA and it got me through the install. For the last few days i only check the clients to make sure they aren't frozen in the mornings and let em fold, BUT the screens are still blanks.

What i do is this, right click on the icon in the bottom tray and bring up like properties or status. Then right click it and minimize it, then right click and hit restore and i can see everything. Weird and annoying but its working.

[Rodzilla]

Here is another thing to try....

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

You want the JRE package. This is the brand new Java Runtime Environment. Hope this helps. :D

[Rodzilla]

Yet another thing to try....

Boot up your PC in "VGA mode" (Hit F5 before the welcome screen shows up to display the startup options)

Let us know if it works then.

[VinnieWeiss]

Did anybody try my tip? It does work for me in any case, with Anti-Aliasing on forced I have a blank screen, if I set it on application ... then the screen is normal.

And is Java 1.5 finally released? Hmm I hope it will be stable this time ^_^

i missed your last post, boy am i glad i saw this one though. Amazing dude, turned aa/af to application preference and bingo, it's all flawless. :banana4:

Thanks man ! :toast:

[bachus_anonym]

nice Vinnie, thanx a lot for a tip :thumbsup:

[All Kill3r]

lol, i gotta say thnx again. I'm a stat whore in the evening after work, watching my points like a hawk ! Boy was it a headache before now. :p:

minimizing and restoring the pages so i could see em :slobber:

[Rodzilla]

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: Awesome!!!! You need a new driver and this issue should be resolved.

How about you freecableguy???

[freecableguy]

AA/AF on was exactly the problem. Turning it off made the screen appear! Getting ready to let this 4Ghz EE rip!

[Rodzilla]

has anyone tried a new driver?

[freecableguy]

Alright! 2 new nodes folding for XtremeSystems! I am now putting 100% of my idle cycles into this team. Wee.

[VinnieWeiss]

has anyone tried a new driver?

The bug started in Cat 4.9 here, the Beta 4.11 do not fix it. :(
Don't wanna try Cat 4.10, cause it misses the 256mb fix I believe.

[Rodzilla]

O-well... we at least have a work around for now. :D :up:
