Java problems for applications

[mknabster]

There are a couple programs on my computer that require Java to function, and today for some reason, they are not behaving like they should be. One application is throwing a "Unable to launch the application" error, while the other just isn't pulling the needed info it should be from the Internet. I'm not getting specific errors with the 2nd app, but the first I have the following pastebins:

Can anyone make any sense of those errors? I tried completely removing Java, then reinstalling it, but it did the same both times. Any ideas? Thanks

it said connection time out, probably an issue with the server the programs try to access. what the programs?

 

[mknabster]

The one that the pastebins are from is a photo lab software called Mpix ROES. The second program, which somehow, has a similar error, is Jdownloader. Jdownloader behaves the same way when it's trying to see if a link is active or not, as well as checking for updates.

 

[rgd1101]

sound like they both are checking for update. although I was able to get to the http/www.roeslaunch.com/ROES/labs/ProMPIX/launch.jnlp

So you were able to get the ROES to launch on your machine? It's weird that I can't, do you think there could be something up with the registry on my side?

maybe is your dns issue. try the google free dns
https/developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/

I honestly don't trust Google for certain things, so I don't feel comfortable with that. But how can DNS play a part in this?

 

[rgd1101]

what did you get when you click the http/www.roeslaunch.com/ROES/labs/ProMPIX/launch.jnlp
link?

 

[mknabster]

It launches, asks if i want to open with Java, which i let it. Then a Java 7 box comes up, the dots move for a bit, then it disappears. Then the error comes up after a minute or so.

 

[rgd1101]

so the link do work, then it is not dns issue. Don't know then, 'cause I disable any java on my machine. maybe need to check with Mpix ROES

Yea, I'm in talks with their tech support. I tried reinstalling Java too, that didn't do it for me. Well, thanks for your help in trying to understand what it could be, but I'm glad there's nothing wrong with my computer.
