Java question.

17 years ago

I just checked and upgraded Java6 update10, had not noticed it needed update, now when I go to "netives.com" just for games I get the "allow or not allow active X" seeing that it a program from out of the country am alittle afraid to allow, am I right in doing that?

Thank you.

Gillian.

The thing I do not understand that's a java driven site and why is it asking for an active x install is it because you visited the site in IE I'm not sure, or do you get the active x when only clicking on a certain game?

Went and checked for the right message, I get to the webpage fine and select a game when the game comes on it happens when I click "start game"

"To help your security, IE stopped this site from installing an ActiveX control on your computer"

I tried the other games in there and get the message with each, it happens when I click start game.

ZZ plant questions about tuber divisions and dormant season

Hi Nick, Java's question is a good one, I don't know the answer, but maybe you can check it out w/ the airline before you hack up the plant; otherwise, I'd just give her the leaves you've started. They're very slow to grow that way, but they will grow & maybe the airline would have less of an issue w/ just leaves. I've started them from single leaves & bare stalks, but have never tried cutting a tuber. I'd suggest you divide it w/out cutting the tuber, for best results, but I'd GUESS, they'd be OK, they're pretty strong, rugged plants. If it were mine, I'd lift out a single stem (or 2), w/ the whole tuber attached & let yr. guest take it home unpotted & dry, to pot up & water once she gets it home. These plants are somewhat succulent in their growth & their fat, fleshy stems hold enough water that it will make it through the travel just fine, bare-root dry (& will be less likely to rot too). This IS their time of new growth, in my experience, mine tend to put on huge new growth starting around Sept. (I had one I'd started that put out a 14" stem in one month before it unfurled.) While mine aren't doing so right now, if yours are, I'd suggest you maintain yr. regular 'more active' watering while they put on their new growth. I keep mine active all yr. tho' maybe cut back my watering from once a wk to once every 2 wks during winter. I'd advise against fertilizer as the fish tank water you're using is already serving that purpose. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help. I would like to be able to plant a banana outdoors but my yard is still a work in progress. I live in a new development. You know how that goes. They take farm land, scrape off all of the useable soil and sell it to the first buyer who will take it. It looks like most of this subdivision is on sand. I, however ended up on one of the few lots on solid clay. My soil is a debacle. ItÂs difficult to even dig through this stuff. It comes out of the ground in chunks. After you did the hole, you have to figure out where to put the clay chunks you now have. IÂve been in this house for five years and itÂs taken me about that long to get my vegetable garden to the point where it will grow anything at all. In a week or so, I am going to have 3 yards of compost delivered. Even after that, I wonÂt have any room in that bed for anything other than vegetables. Long story even longer, I donÂt want to basically drop a banana into a clay flower pot for the summer. IÂm 34 now. I read years ago when I was in college that a certain plant (that shall remain nameless) can be forced to flower before it reaches maturity if you expose it to 12 hours of darkness followed by 12 hours of light. Has anyone ever tried that with a banana plant?

Z, You might have just solved a concern I had last night trying to remove Adobe Reader 9 from a friend's XP laptop. I was using REVO, and like SF's Java attempt it stopped at 2/3 of the way on the first step; report of creating restore point and action by the product's built-in uninstaller). It also presented a window with an alert regarding a protected registry key. I never thought of running the process as the administrator. The obvious. Duh! This might be the cure also for SF and REVO. Thanks. DA This post was edited by damccoy on Mon, Jan 21, 13 at 9:43

Well not all Active x is bad, in fact a lot of online Scanners ask you to accept the Active x to enable the scanner to run. I know I have not answered your question, and I can't come out and say go ahead an except the active x and play the game. You were right in not accepting it in the first place and asking a question about it.

Thank you Zep, I seem to get it on a couple of more webpages now like the "weather.com" and also getting the "red X" where pictures are supposed to be.
What happens if you OK the warning will I get a virus or something this is something new to me.

ActiveX controls are small program building blocks that can be used to create distributed applications that work over the Internet through web browsers. Examples include customized applications for gathering data, viewing certain kinds of files, and displaying animation.

If you ok the warning chances are you will be ok, but there is a risk involved, that being said there is risk visiting any web page.
