To bcastner, SYAR2003, & linney: Thanks folks! Your reply has convinced me that I don't have USB 2.0 on my XP-PC. The following quote from the 'faq' article makes me think I have to have a USB 2.0 card so apparently I need some hardware & not just an updated driver: "If you don't have a...

I purchased my PC in August 2002 and have since put on XP SP1. How can I tell if my PC supports USB 2.0 ? The Control Panel shows USB support but not whether it's 1.1 or 2.0. Thanks, Danny

JVZ & Stoolpigeon: Yes, your comments are of help. I've used JCreator as an editor which always suited my needs for simple Java programs. Since I've seen ECLIPSE in the weekly Java newsletters I subscribe to, I'm tempted to give it a go. Thanks to your impressions, I think I will. With...

Not much help in answering my question but thnx anyway. Danny

I stumbled upon the ECLIPSE website and it looks promising. I'm in the market for a free IDE but so far I only write simple programs for my amusement/edification and don't intend to distribute my code for an enterprise or anything full-blown. Is ECLIPSE for me or is it overkill? I thought I saw...

palbano: Thanks for pointing out that 'javadoc' link. I'll re-examine it further for possible usage info. Danny

expostfacto, I've learned never to argue with a jerk: First they drag you down to their level and then they beat you with experience.

Expostfacto, Well that certainly tells me nothing. Show me one sentence where he demonstrates HOW to execute his class. Sorry, but jar files are somewhat new to me and the only ones I'm familiar with are the executable jar files, which this one isn't. If you could point me to some doc on how to...

I installed XP Desktop Mgr & can see the 4 different backgrounds, but I cannot get each one to display the different shortcuts I intend for each desktop; ie, I want 1 desktop for my workstuff, one for my fun stuff, one for my educational stuff...etc. No problem seeing different backgrounds...

Hi, I just installed PowerToy's XP Desktop Manager and have a usage question. The 4 destops I now have available all have the same shortcut icons on them. My impression was that each desktop would have its own (different) set of shortcut icons that I could control. If not, then what's the...

Hi, I've used jar files before by executing them as: java -jar jar_file_name but when downloading the 'caramel' jar file from this website, http://ajax.sourceforge.net/caramel/index.html I am unsure how to use it. The author did not reply to my usage question so hopefully you can help. Why he...

Thanks, JavaDude32. The plugin is installed fine but Ithink I need to re-install my IEv6 since I deleted MS's JVM thinking I could easily point it to Sun's JVM. Even though my IE option's panel shows Sun's JVM, IE refuses to use it?!? I guess part of my question is where does SUN document the...

Hi! I downloaded & successfully installed the Sun JDK 1.4.1_01. I was playing around with the 'sort' demo in the directory: DannyJDK\demo\applets\SortDemo\example1.html . I received this error message stating to "download & install the Java Virtual Machine". However, when I execute...

...correction: The error message states that I need to "download & install the Java Virtual Machine" (which is essentially what I said about needing a JRE). Danny

I downloaded & successfully installed Sun JDK 1.4.1_01. I was playing around with the 'sort' demo in the directory: DannyJDK\demo\applets\SortDemo\example1.html . I received an error message about needing to download the JRE. However, when I execute that (or any of the other demos) from the...
