Streaming Data on Web Pages

[ultimateav]

I recently upgraded to XP Pro and I now cannot see live streaming data within a browser window. Eg. I am a member of Forex directory exchange rates and it gives me live trading information with live rate changes. I now cannot see these figures, a little red X comes up in the top left hand corner of the window. Does it have something to do with the settings within the Internet options??

You are more than likely missing an add in. maybe flash, or perhaps the security settingg of internet explorer do not allow for Javascript or whatever scripting the figures are displayed in.
Also the security setting in internet explorer may not allow this type of code:
If you could find out what type of program or script produces these figures it would help.

The web page is the following:

http://www.forexdirectory.net/gbp.html

I have had a look at the computer in question and it has Flash installed, not too sure about the Javascript stuff - where would I find that?

This looks like java script:
Try these then let me know.
At the top of Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet
Options, switch to the Advanced tab, scroll down to Microsoft VM and uncheck
all three (3) items, click Apply. Then, switch to the Security tab, click
on the Trusted sites icon, click the Sites... button, uncheck the box next
to Require server verification..., then type in the box under Add this Web
site....

http://www.forexdirectory.net/gbp.html

Add, then type in

https://www.forexdirectory.net/gbp.htmland

click Add, click OK, click OK, and retry on the Zone. Most likely, you
either have a corrupt JavaScripting engine software or your standard
Internet security zone was set too high or customized and was blocking
JavaScript. If, after all this, it still fails, reinstall Internet Explorer
6.0 and make sure you include the Microsoft VM (Virtual Machine) item. If
you don't have it installed, it will appear on the Windows Update site under
Recommended Updates. If it's not listed, download the ie6setup.exe file
from

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp

and save it to your
Desktop. Double-click it to run it and choose Custom, that way you can pick
and choose.

Have looked at the Internet options but there is no Microsoft VM option there? Is there an upgrade I am missing or something?

 

[ultimateav]

Have downloaded IE6 SP1 but it didn't offer me the chance to install custom, do I need to uninstall IE completely before reinstalling to get the custom option???

Do two things, reboot and report back.

1. MS Direct Java Virtual Machine download:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/m...l/MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe

Download, and click to install.

2. The bcastner hyperlink "fix:

Open a notepad session, copy and paste the below as IE_fix.cmd, then double-click the file and answer the responses:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll


Reboot.

 

[ultimateav]

What do you mean by copy and paste the below as IE_fix.cmd, how do I do that? Do you mean name it as IE-fix.cmd or what? The install also said that it would only install over the existing VM and I haven't got it but it still said install complete. Any ideas?

 

[bcastner]

1. Open notepad
2. Hold down the left mouse button to highlight the below, then right-click 'Copy'
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll

*** end copy above this line ***
left-click the taskbar to open your notepad session. right-click an 'Paste' the above.
File, Save, ie_fix.cmd

Exit notepad. Double-click ie_fix.cmd and answer the prompts.

2. See the whole site for information to ensure that the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine is installed:

Did all of the above and it loaded cmd on opening. All of the prompts worked bar one, the msjava.dll. The following error message appeared

Load library (MSJava.dll) the specified module could not be found

All of the others worked though. I rebooted and it has made no difference

???

 

[bcastner]

Good.

Now install MS Java as discussed in the link above:

1. Go to the Windows Update web site.
2. Click on "Windows Update Catalog".
3. Click on Find updates for "Microsoft Windows operating systems".
4. Select your OS from the list.
5. Click "Advanced search options".
6. In the text box, type in "VM" but without the quotes.
7. Click the button to search.
8. Click the "Critical Updates and Service Packs (1)" link.
9. There you go, the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine.

Then apply the direct download update.

 

[ultimateav]

Do you mean the Windows catalog?? I have looked there and cannot find what you are talking about

 

[ultimateav]

ok, found it

 

[kippy13]

The java add in should sort the problem out.
However, correct me if I am wrong, wouldnt the programmers of the page usually add in a few lines checking to see if java was installed on the client machine-if not it would ask the user to install it.

There are licensing issues that make the whole MJVM issue a mess.

If you had to use Service Pack 1a (instead of Service Pack 1) you are nominally barred from using the Microsoft JVM. Once it is in place, MS will update it with Windows Update services.

But if you do not have the base install it becomes decidedly tricky.

You need to manually search for an install the earlier JVM release, then you can use the direct upload link I provided above to update the MS JVM.

The whole thing is silly, but my attorney wife thinks it makes perfect sense.
