    It's a sort of programming language, like .Net....

    Basically people can write code and then Java "converts" this code into something between source code and applications, and this "something" can run on various operating systems.

    You can also think of it like Flash ... something that allows animations and stuff to run in browsers in different operating systems.

    A good example of software that uses Java is LibreOffice, an open source "office" software : http://www.libreoffice.org/

    If you install it, it automatically installs Java in the background.

          JRE (java runtime environment) is used by a lot of online and desktop applications. Yes, you need it.

              You'll be able to run it just fine.
              Just make sure you keep it updated, as old versions have significant security risks.

                    I've had many service calls, where the customer says "I can't run (whatever)".
                    I go out to the PC, install Java, Flash and Shockwave, then the very latest K-Lite Codec pack and then test the system with sample files that I take with me and the PC will then play everything. Problem fixed..... Service call complete.

                    If I go back there on subsequent calls, I update everything that I gave them on the last call.

                    When installing the latest version of Java, then go to your startup folder and remove the Java Scheduler, so it's not sitting there running every time you boot up your PC.

                    Cheers Mates!

                      Copy DMI info easily with Hex editing software and Macro script
                      by SMDFlea
                      Copying DMI information from an old bios to a new one is difficult for some members, often they have no experience with a hex editor,or some that have tried find it too hard.There is an option to make things easier for those members so that they don`t need to post their own bios backup for the DMI copying.

                      Experienced bios modding members can help by posting in other threads the DMI offsets,macro script generated by the software and a download link to the software at softpedia mentioned in this guide,or post your macros in the comments here with a link to the bios request thread ....

                      Backup To OneDrive Software? Everything! Best Software?
                      by NeedsPractice
                      I contacted Microsoft and they said they do not have software to where you could backup all your files to one drive. I mean you can copy some of your files to your one drive folder and back stuff up. However, it does not do this automatically.

                      I have around (10) hard drives I want to backup to the cloud with One Drive. What is the best software to do this with?

                      AOMEI Backupper
                      I Drive
                      Easeus

                      I do not want a Cloud Plan. I just need the software to take my DATA and Transfer it to the cloud in a nice, readable, viewable fashion. I wish...

                      iMac fan ramps up after shutting down. Software? SMC? FET?
                      by BMCappelletti
                      Hi everyone.
                      There are some topics here (also on a lot of other places) regarding this issue, but I believe none has a definitive answer. At least I didn't see anyone saying it really worked for them.
                      In my case I have an iMac A1418 (late 2012) that the fan goes full blast (or at least ramps up the speed) after going to sleep or turning the computer off.
                      It's not a software issue, cause it was formatted and it happens with any MacOS version I test.
                      At some places people say it would be an issue with the S5 rail. Others say it's the S0 rail. And some others say it's an SMC...

                      JVC LT-55C870(B) Corrupt Software??
                      by Russ17
                      Hi,

                      I have a JVC LT-55C870(C). All that happens upon applying power is the red led flashes slowly (1Hz).
                      If I hold the OK on the remote while powering on, the led flashes at 2Hz, but without a USB Device attached, it obviously does nothing, no screen or backlight.

                      Any thoughts on this being corrupted software?

                      Owner says the TV experienced a power surge.

                      If software is a possibility, can someone point me in the right direction to download the correct software. Is there a procedure to force software to load from USB?
                      ...
