Java is broken on VB v4
Posted: 15. Feb 2011, 23:57
opensuse v11.3 and MacOS 10.6
VB 4.0.2
WinXP sp3 guest
Since upgrading to VB v.4.0.0, then .2, any attempt to run a Java program results in javaw.exe going into an infinite loop consuming 100% of at least one CPU. Any later version of Java 6, e.g. the current update is 23, exhibits this problem. When I reverted to Java 6 update 3, the problem went away. Now, of course, I get periodic reminders about updating Java.
There may be versions between 3 and 21 that are okay as well. I did not have the patience to try them.
Is there some setting in VB that clears this problem?
Or is this an actual Windows mess?
