Java web site flickered when using CursorXP!!!

Monday, May 26, 2003 by Jincuteguy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

CursorXP cause Java web sites to flicker . For example, I went to http://www.alienware.com, I clicked on Area51 and click to customize it. And when I scroll the bar up and down, it caused the options to flicker or generating everything twice, so everything looks double. If I disable CursorXP, then it works fine. How do I fix this problem? or it's a bug and will be fixed in the next version of CursorXP?

By the way, Im using CursorXP 1.3 Plus version, i also tried it with 1.2 version but the problem still existed.

Bussie gave you the answer and the cure...I didn't know MS had pulled it either. I haven't a clue why it's missing from your configuration. Think that's about all the help we can be for you unless someone else here knows something we don't

Hi Jincuteguy,

I understand that you already have Microsoft VM, so i don't have to e-mail it anymore?

I don't have the problem you describe. Are you sure you disabled sun java and maybe de-installed it?

Yea, I unchecked the Java (Sun) option, and I unintalled it. I know this problem still happen because I tried to use CursorXP on my other computer which doesn't have Java(sun) and it still happened. Yea, I guess you dont have to send me the MicrosoftVM now, thx

You sure you dont have this problem? Try to go to the site I gave, and scroll (dont use the scroll wheel if u have it) the scrollbar of the Internet Explorer down and up slowly, you will see the the options will be "ghosting" (like the one pic I had for the link).

I, too, have followed the notes about chooseing MS's JVM over Sun's. After restarting I still have the problem. Unload CursorXP and the problem goes away.

Perhaps there's more to this issue than meets the eye, but IMHO I've got to lean towards CursorXP as part (if not the root) of the problem.

To clarify, the problem we're seeing occurs on pages with drop-down menus. When you scroll up or down the page, the menus become skewed. There are many drop-down menus on Alienware's configuration pages. This is why the site is a good test subject.

Yes, that's right.

"how can we make them fix this problem???"

I'm not sure we can 'make' anyone do anything, but you can '[email protected]' if you think it's a problem with CursorXP

Hi Jincuteguy,

I have again checked with the site you mentioned. I really don't have th problem that you have!

So maybe it isn't only a java problem, but maye in combination with videodrivers or something like that.

Jincuteguy, I don't know what your problem is, but it has nothing to do with Java whatsoever.
I've had flickering problems with Java as well, and people here probably provided the correct solution to fix that Java problem. But in this case there is no Java on the page you gave a link to. Tons of javascript though, but that has nothing to do with Java, although the name of the scripting language may be confusing.

Your problem sounds like a display problem to me. Make sure you have the latest drivers from your manufacturer. Have you tried with another browser, such as Netscape or Mozilla?

Someone already has this same problem with me and clarified the problem:
"To clarify, the problem we're seeing occurs on pages with drop-down menus. When you scroll up or down the page, the menus become skewed. There are many drop-down menus on Alienware's configuration pages. This is why the site is a good test subject"

I have my latest video card driver from ATI which is Catalyst 3.4 and I have Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb card.

Also, I already sent an email included with a picture to stardock support, but I haven't got any reply like almost a week already. So could someone else do it maybe they actually read it?

As I stated before, I, too, am having the display issues when CursorXP is loaded. I am using a Toshiba 5105-S607 with an NVIDIA Geforce 4 Go card. There are no updated drivers available on the Toshiba website.

Regardless, this appears to be a CursorXP issue. When the program is not loaded, the problem does not occur.

This is not only a problem with Java-Websites, but with any Java application.
I'm a developer of Java Swing applications and the problem of a flickering screen occurs on my machine as well.

WinXP, Sun JDK 1.4

Is there already a solution?

It would be nice to only use Java VM , but I use Opera and Firebird primarily so I have to use Sun Java.
