Vista reverting to non-Aero on Java applications

Craig321 · 19 Mar 2008 at 00:01

Hi,

Every time Javascript is used (or at least when an application is opened that uses mostly Javascript) Vista reverts back to non-Aero.

After the application has been closed it does change itself back, so it's not too much of a problem, but it's quite annoying.

Is it my version of Javascript or is this just a problem with Vista x64 in general?

Thanks,
Craig.

Hmm, seems Sun haven't perfected Java for x64 yet then?

Do you mean Java or Javascript? Javascript shouldn't have any affect on Aero since it runs in a browser (mainly). I don't have any issues with Java either.

Seems to be when a program, or a web page makes Sun Java start up (e.g. BT Digital Vault, Limewire, WebCT (WebCT is the web application college uses to submit work).

Hmmm, yes, it does seem to be certain Java applications

- I guess I'll have to stick with it.

I've been using the eBay photo thing (which is a Java applet) without issues. Try uninstalling all the JVMs and installing the latest one again.

Try go to http://webct.warkscol.ac.uk and see what happens on yours.

I'm guessing the Java part of that only starts when I log in?

Nope, the Java application loads on that page, Aero reverts for me on that page as well.

Running 64-bit Java here by the way... you?

Hmm, seems that page reverts in Firefox (the WebCT thing) on the login screen, but only when you login on Internet Explorer.

I'll try reinstall Java.

I just left this as it was for a while (reverting to Vista basic style when I accessed my colleges website).

It started to really annoy me as I really don't like the Basic look.

Upgraded today and it works fine

That still doesn't fix the fact that WebCT is crap

Whoever made WebCT needs to look into AJAX.
